Introduction of the PCA Card
PCA(PCIe Cable Adapter)，which is used to connect PCIe upstream slot with downstream target
board by a PCIe X4 cable , supports the PCIe X4 & X1 mode. PCA card can provide programmable
equalization, amplification, and de-emphasis for PCIe transceiver signal by using 8 select bits. It is
also available to optimize performance over a variety of physical mediums by reducing
Inter-symbol interference.

The pins are numbered as shown with side A on the top of the centerline on the solder side of the
board and side B on the bottom of the centerline on the component side of the board.
The PCIe interface pins PETpx, PETnx, PERpx, and PERnx are named with the following
convention: “PE” stands for PCIe high speed, “T” for Transmitter, “R” for Receiver, “p” for
positive (+), and “n” for negative (-).
Note that adjacent differential pairs are separated by two ground pins to manage the connector
crosstalk.
Table 3-1 gives the wiring information of the PCIe Edge connector.
