Introduction
The Terasic PCIe x4 Cable Adapter (PCA) is used to connect a PCIe upstream slot with downstream
target board via PCIe x4 cable, supporting PCIe x4 & x1 lanes. The PCA 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.

This PCIe edge connector is used to connect the PCA with PC motherboard PCIe slot, as show
Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-1 PCA Edge Connector
Figure 3-2 Plug the PCA into the PCIe slot of the Motherboard
The pins are numbered as shown in Table 3-1 with side A on the top of the center-line 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.

A PCIe cable connector is used to connect the PCIe x4 Cable and PCA cable connector, Connect the
adapter by using a PCIe x4 Cable, as show Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 PCIe x4 Cable and PCA
To purchase the PCIe x4 Cable, please refer the url: PCIe_Cable.terasic.com.
