CompanionCore IP Module - Fast AES

Description: Fast AES - Encryptor & Decryptor

The Helion Fast AES core is an ideal solution for many high-end applications, where a flexible solution with high throughput capabilities is required. It is the fastest of the three families of AES cores offered by Helion, aimed at applications working at data rates up to 1.5 Gbps. It offers fully featured AES encryption and decryption, supporting all three AES keysizes, and can be scaled down to reduce area if all of these facilities are not needed in a specific application.
