Overview

The Helion Tiny AES core is our smallest AES solution and was designed specifically for applications where data rates are low and minimal area and/or power consumption is absolutely paramount. This requirement applies to many applications, for example set-top boxes, mobile wireless communications systems or satcomms. The result is the smallest fully featured AES solution available. Despite its extremely small footprint, the Tiny AES core is a very capable performer. It offers full AES encryption and decryption using any combination of the three AES key sizes (128, 192, and 256 bits) and can easily be used to implement any of the common AES block cipher modes. Helion was the very first company in the world to offer commercial AES IP solutions in 2001, and as such our cores are extremely well proven in numerous FIPS certified real-world products. The Tiny AES core is extremely simple to use and so can be integrated into any AES design requirement with minimum effort.
