While reading floorplan guidelines from Innovus User Guide, I came across the following:
"Assess different floorplan styles such as hard macro placement in periphery, island, or doughnut (periphery and island). Keep the macro depth at 1 to 2 for best CTS, optimization, and Design-for-test (DFT) results. If possible, consider different aspect ratios to accommodate a shallower macro depth."
What is meant by 'macro depth' in the above paragraph?
