DCD-SEMI Unveils Ultra-Fast DAES IP Core for AES Encryption

Dec. 04, 2025 – 

DAES IP Core is a high-performance solution that accelerates AES encryption and decryption for modern secure systems. Supporting 128- and 256-bit keys across multiple modes—including ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB, and CTR—DAES delivers ultra-fast throughput and easy integration.

Bytom, Poland –  Designed for hardware acceleration, DAES automatically handles data flow and key expansion, letting software focus solely on I/O operations. Its flexible memory-mapped interface works seamlessly with AMBA (APB/AHB/AXI), Avalon, and OPB buses, making deployment fast and straightforward.

Performance Highlights:

  • Up to 7.68 Gbit/s throughput on 128-bit AES at 1 GHz
  • Optimized for Xilinx Artix-7, Virtex UltraScale+, and Intel/Altera FPGAs
  • Configurable modes and key sizes to match system requirements

The DAES package includes Verilog source, testbench, reference tests, synthesis scripts, example C drivers, and full documentation, backed by expert technical support.

With DAES, system designers can accelerate AES operations without compromising flexibility, enabling faster, more secure applications in communications, data storage, and embedded systems.

Part of a Holistic Cryptography Ecosystem, the CryptOne

DAES is a key component of DCD-SEMI’s comprehensive cryptography portfolio, offering a complete ecosystem of IP cores designed for secure, high-performance applications.
