The RAM_AVERAGE_ACTIVITY property is a read-only property where the value is a pessimistic estimate performed by Vivado representing the average frequency of all UltraRAM and Block RAM on the device that can be switched (enabled/disabled). The value is used by Vivado to model power supply noise induced by RAM switching and calculate jitter for global clocks in static timing analysis.

When USER_RAM_AVERAGE_ACTIVITY is not specified, the RAM_AVERAGE_ACTIVITY value is used in the calculation of a pessimistic jitter value (reported as part of the clock uncertainty in static timing analysis) and ultimately results in increased difficulty for design timing closure.
