What is the difference between Cadence VCR-VCP (ex-ICC)
and Cadence NeoCell :?:

VCP is the Virtuoso Custom Placer and VCR is the Virtuoso Custom Router tool used in the custom physical design for Placement and Routing respectively.

NeoCell is the analog Physical Synthesis tool which has automated design solution from NeoLinear.

Virtuoso NeoCell Analog Physical Synthesis translates analog cell schematics into a full-custom optimized layout. It captures subtle electrical and geometrical constraints, such as matching and symmetry, required for analog layout and subsequent IP reuse. Integrated into the Virtuoso custom design platform, Virtuoso NeoCell rapidly synthesizes circuits such as amplifiers, filters, bandgaps, and other complex analog layouts.

NeoCell automate the Cadence analog design solution dramatically reducing time-to-GDSII for analog/mixed signal SOC designs.
