Differential Pair Unproperly Connected to Device

This compiler hint appears when a differential pair net is not properly connected to a differential pair pin of a physical device. The message is displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Misconnected differential pair PairName: net NetName should be connected to pin PinDesignator,

where

PairName is the name of the differential pair (e.g. V_TX1)

NetName is the name of the positive or negative polarity net in the pair (e.g. V_TX1_N or V_TX1_P)

PinDesignator is the designator of the device pin to which the offending net should be connecting (e.g. E6)

Default Report Mode

Error

Recommendation

This type of violation typically arises when the wire object for the differential pair net is not making electrical connection with the target pin of the device. Use the Compile Errors dialog to quickly cross probe to the device pin and ensure proper connection between the wire of the net and the pin itself.
