A circuit design process is presented that includes a block placement operation, followed by global routing based upon the initial placement of the blocks. Congestion data is generated from the global routing and, in an automated process, the blocks are placed again based upon the congestion data to reduce the routing congestion of the design. This can be used as part of a custom layout design process, for example.
