Clock Period Constraints
The Xilinx ISE development software uses timing-driven logic placement and routing. Set
the clock PERIOD constraint as appropriate. An example constraint appears in Figure 3-3
for the on-board 50 MHz clock oscillator. The CLK_50MHZ frequency is 50 MHz, which
equates to a 20 ns period. The output duty cycle from the oscillator ranges between 40% to
60%.
