3.6.2.4.20 SYNTHESIS_CLOCK_PERIOD

This constraint allows the user to override the SDC clock period constraint for synthesis, P&R, and timing analysis.

By default, when this constraint is not specified, the same CLOCK_PERIOD constraint for HLS is used for the SDC clock period constraint. However, it may be useful to give a tighter SDC clock period constraint to close timing.

The clock period is specified in nanoseconds.
