Differential pairs

Sparkylabs

Firstly I'd like to point out that the CS video on differential pairs is just one level above non existent.

 

So as per the video I create "a pair" but I have 2 differential pair nets in my schematic, if I just click on one of the diff. pair symbols i see that it has a generic name like diffpair. Do I correctly assume (yes we have to use assumption instead of actual documentation!) that for multiple differential pairs this name needs to be specific to the pair or i will have 4 traces that belong to the same "pair" set?

  • The key is naming the nets correctly, for example MYNET_P and MYNET_N, the names should be the same but with a specific suffix. Once the differential pair marker has been attached to both nets and the PCB updates you will find the differential pairs available for routing. You do not modify the differential pair marker in any way, the net names define which tagged nets are treated as pairs.
