Among all physical design steps, floorplanning plays a foundational role. A well-executed floorplan sets the direction for placement, routing, timing closure, power integrity, and overall chip performance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For physical design engineers, especially freshers entering ASIC or SoC design, understanding floorplanning fundamentals is essential. Poor floorplanning decisions can lead to severe congestion, timing violations, excessive power consumption, and repeated ECOs. On the other hand, a well-planned floorplan significantly improves design quality and reduces turnaround time.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is Floorplanning in VLSI?<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Floorplanning is the process of defining the physical layout structure of a chip before detailed placement and routing. It determines where major functional blocks, memories, macros, I\/O pins, and power structures are located on the silicon die.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key Objectives of Floorplanning:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Define chip size and shape<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"
