                In the design planning context, floorplanning is the process of sizing, shaping, and placing hierarchical cells and functional blocks in a manner that makes later physical design steps more effective. Overall, floorplanning is an important stage in physical design because it directly impacts the performance, power consumption, and area utilization of the final chip. A well-executed floorplan can significantly reduce design iterations and shorten time-to-market, making it an essential step in the chip design process. Main aim of the floorplan is: - Minimize the area. Minimize the total wire length. Improve routability. Minimize delay. Minimize cost                Floorplanning in hierarchical flows provides a basis for estimating the timing of the top level. A timing budget allocates the clock cycle time to each block according to the top-level timing estimation. An effective floorplan helps e...
