The Helion Standard AES core is an ideal solution for many mid-range applications, where a flexible solution with a compact footprint is required. It is the middle member of the three families of AES cores offered by Helion, aimed at applications working at data rates up to 300Mbps. It offers fully featured AES encryption and decryption supporting all three AES keysizes, and can be scaled down to reduce area if all these facilities are not needed in a specific application.
