SHA-256 IP is an optimized and efficient implementation of the SHA-256 algorithm, compliant with the FIPS 180-4 standard. It processes 512-bit data blocks in 65 clock cycles, delivering 7.875 Mbps per MHz—equivalent to 1.575 Gbps at 200 MHz. When combined with Design Gateway's data storage and networking IPs, it enables the development of secure, high-performance, and efficient applications.
