The AI Engine-ML clock can run at up to 1 GHz for -1L speed grade devices, or higher, for -2 and -3 speed grade devices. The default width of a stream channel is 32 bits. Because this frequency exceeds the PL clock frequency, you must perform a CDC to the PL region, for example. For example, to either one-half or a quarter of the AI Engine-ML clock frequency.

For C++ HLS PL kernels, choose an appropriate target frequency depending on the complexity of the algorithm implemented. The --hls.clock option can be used in the Vitis compiler when compiling HLS C/C++ into Xilinx object (XO) files.
