Abstract

Standard Cell Placement is a vital step in the digital circuit layout that allots positions for several circuit components within the chip’s core region. Placement problem has drawn broad explores tending in the VLSI CAD domain. The purpose of this research is to present a discrete approach based on firefly algorithm for standard cell placement problem. The results show that the proposed DFCP approach are better than mete genetic approach for the placement instances of MCNC benchmark. The research testifies that the DFCP approach provides effective cell locations, giving a super-ordinate performance in terms of time and quality of the solution.
