Hi, members,
Who can tell me what the difference is between the floorplanning and placement of digital circuit physical design? Thanks in advance.
 

Floorplanning refers to how standard cells and macros are placed in your die area. While placement refers to how cells within these standard cells & macros are placed.
 

Aren't cells in the standard cells placed by a standard method since they are called as standard cells?
 

standard cells are the building blocks for a design.They donot have any restrictions other than they have a fixed height.for further clarification read ASIC by Sebastian Smith.
