Hello,
I have made a custom hardware design of a Encryption chip. It works in this manner, it takes data stream from 8bits input then encrypt the data and send out at 8bits output port. Please advice me, how to measure the 'Throughput' parameter of this chip.
Thanks.

you need the frequency of the chip and the number of clock cycles that it takes to encrypt the input.

So lets say your design produces 8 bits in 10 clock cycles where the frequency of the clock is 100 MHz then throughput is

8 bits/10 cycles * 100 M cycles/sec = 80 M bits per sec
