Floorplanning Frustrations Got You Down? Help Is on the Way!

As much as we love automation, one area that seems to require a fair amount of human intervention is floorplanning. And, we all know that a less-than-optimal floorplan will cause all kinds of convergence problems downstream.

Even with an automatically generated floorplan, we still have to tweak it to get all the pieces to fit together, not unlike a jigsaw puzzle.

To help with understanding how to floorplan with the Innovus Implementation System software, we have created a series of short videos that are posted on our Customer Support site. We start with a basic explanation of what floorplanning is in the context of digital implementation.  The channel of videos contain a combination of lecture and demo videos on a variety of topics such as IO placement, how to create a rectilinear floorplan, how to resize a floorplan, etc.

Included in the series of videos are some tips and tricks on how you can arrive at a floorplan that will meet your design goals and area constraints.

Happy Floorplanning!
