The Helion Tiny AES core is ideal for applications where logic utilization is critical and device resources and/or power consumption need to be minimised. It is the smallest member of the families of AES cores offered by Helion; an ultra-small footprint AES engine, aimed at applications working at low data rates. It offers fully featured AES encryption and decryption with integrated key expansion supporting all three AES keysizes, and can be scaled down to reduce area if all of these facilities are not needed for a specific application.
