Derived parameter values are calculated from other parameters during the Elaboration phase, and are specified in the hw.tcl file with the DERIVED property. Derived parameter values are calculated from other parameters during the Elaboration phase, and are specified in the hw.tcl file with the DERIVED property. For example, you can derive a clock period parameter from a data rate parameter. Derived parameters are sometimes used to perform operations that are difficult to perform in HDL, such as using logarithmic functions to determine the number of address bits that a component requires.
