Chapter 1 Introduction
The Terasic PCIe x4 Cable Adapter (PCA3) is used to connect a PCIe upstream slot with downstream target board via PCIe x4 cable, supporting PCIe x4 & x1 lanes. The PCA3 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.
Features
Figure 1-1 shows a photograph of the PCA3 card.

The key features of the card are listed below:
- Up to 8.0Gbps PCIe 3.0 Serial Re-Driver
- PCIe x4 Gen 3
- Adjustable receiver equalization
- Adjustable transmitter amplitude and de-emphasis
