The AI Engine array has a single clock domain for all the tiles and array interface blocks. The performance target of the AI Engine array for the –1L speed grade devices is 1 GHz with V_CCINT at 0.70V. In addition, the AI Engine array has clocks for interfacing to other blocks. The following table summarizes the various clocks in the AI Engine array and their performance targets.

Table 1. AI Engine Interfacing Clock Domains
Clock	Target for -1L	Source	Relation to AI Engine Clock
AI Engine array clock	1 GHz	AI Engine PLL	N/A
NoC clock	960 MHz	NoC clocking	Asynchronous, CDC within NoC
PL clocks	500 MHz	PL clocking	Asynchronous, CDC within AI Engine array interface
NPI clock	300 MHz	NPI clocking	Asynchronous
