Lesson plan
Floorplan (microelectronics)
In electronic design automation, a floorplan of an integrated circuit consists of a schematic arrangement of its major functional blocks on the chip area and the specification of high-level parameters such as the aspect ratio or core utilization. The design step in which floorplans are created is called floorplanning, an early stage in the design flow for integrated circuit design. Various mathematical abstractions of this problem have been studied.
