RANT: Differential pairs

[[email protected]]

Why the EFF are there no standards on where the Ps and the Ns are on
different chips? I am FED UP of chip X sourcing P and N and chip Y
expecting N and P.

Also, Altera, could you stop putting diff pairs on different angles ?
A vertical diff pair next to a few horizontal ones is a nightmare to
route cleanly.

Fantastic. I'll just start drawing op-amps with + and - inverted, and
sometimes put the ground on top of my drawings. It's funny that we can
all agree on those conventions, eh?

Well I do draw opamps with + and - "inverted"... you mean there is a
standard way? Which way do you draw them?

Looks like I'm going to have to go back and redraw all my circuits.
