38.4. Signal Description
Not applicable.
38.5. Product Dependencies
In order to use this AES module, other parts of the system must be configured correctly, as described
below.
38.5.1. I/O Lines
Not applicable.
38.5.2. Power Management
The AES will continue to operate in any sleep mode, if it's source clock is running. The AES interrupts can
be used to wake up the device from sleep modes. Refer to the Power Manager chapter for details on the
different sleep modes.
AES is clocked only on the following conditions:
•
Whenever there is an APB access for any read and write operation to the AES registers.
•
When the AES is enabled & encryption/decryption is on.
38.5.3. Clocks
The AES bus clock (CLK_AES_APB) can be enabled and disabled in the Main Clock module, and the
default state of CLK_AES_APB can be found in
Peripheral Clock Masking
. The module is fully clocked by
CLK_AES_APB.

38.5.4. DMA
The AES has two DMA request lines; one for input data, and one for output data. They are both
connected to the DMA Controller (DMAC). These DMA request triggers will be acknowledged by the
DMAC ACK signals. Using the AES DMA requests requires the DMA Controller to be configured first.
Refer to the device DMA documentation.
38.5.5. Interrupts
The interrupt request line is connected to the interrupt controller. Using the AES interrupt requires the
interrupt controller to be configured first. Refer to the Processor and Architecture chapter for details.
All the AES interrupts are synchronous wake-up sources. See
Sleep Mode Controller
for details.

38.5.6. Events
Not applicable.
38.5.7. Debug Operation
When the CPU is halted in debug mode, the AES module continues normal operation. If the AES module
is configured in a way that requires it to be periodically serviced by the CPU through interrupts or similar,
improper operation or data loss may result during debugging. The AES module can be forced to halt
operation during debugging.
