Ok. So this is the frequency of a (non-programmable) PLL which feeds the
clock IP block?

Or is this internal to the IP block?

Typically we'd use "clock-frequency" as the name for such an input, or
just model it as a normal clock input and feed it a fixed-rate-clock for
the non-programmable case.

Cheers,
Mark.
