Automated Standard Cell Placement and Routing User Interface

In the Virtuoso standard cell placement and routing flow, you use the Auto P&R assistant for standard cell placement and the Routing assistant for standard cell routing in the Layout MXL cockpit.

The Auto P&R assistant is the integrated, automatic placement and routing solution available in Virtuoso. Use the Auto P&R assistant to initialize, set up, place, and route the standard cells in the layout design automatically as per your requirements.

The Routing assistant has the same look-and-feel for device, standard cell, and chip assembly routing with a common toolbar for all routing types. The Routing assistant is a dockable assistant pane that provides various options to let you perform tasks related to various routing types.

This topic lists the standard cell placement and routing assistant and forms.
