Product details
Overview
ASC8848ET/M2,551 from NXP Semiconductors is a single-chip IP camera SoC integrating ARM926EJ-S CPU (400 MHz), H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG video encoder, image processing pipeline, 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC, and BT.656/BT.1120 video input interface. It supports up to 5 MPixels raw sensor input, 720p @ 45 fps or 1080p @ 20 fps H.264 encoding, and operates in security IP cameras requiring low-latency, multi-stream HD video compression.
For engineers reviewing the ASC8848ET/M2,551 datasheet, ASC8848ET/M2,551 pinout, ASC8848ET/M2,551 application, or ASC8848ET/M2,551 equivalent, key selection criteria include its M2 version timing compliance, TFBGA-484 package mapping, dual-channel SDRAM support (1-ch @ 266 MHz), and verified 8-bit BT.656 video output capability for legacy interconnects.
Technical Context
The ASC8848ET/M2,551 implements a dedicated hardware H.264 encoder supporting Baseline/Main profiles with CAVLC entropy coding, ROI encoding, and VBR/CBR rate control - enabling simultaneous 720p @ 45 fps + D1 @ 30 fps dual-stream output. Its image processing pipeline includes digital WDR, auto exposure, noise reduction, and lens distortion correction tailored for low-light surveillance environments.
It integrates a 400 MHz ARM926EJ-S core with 16 KB I-cache and 16 KB D-cache, runs Linux 2.6, and connects to external DDR-II/III SDRAM via a single 16-bit channel operating at 266 MHz. Peripheral support includes MII Ethernet interface, one USB 2.0 OTG, one SPI, two UARTs, one I2S, NAND Flash controller, and 20 GPIOs for PTZ and alarm control.

FAQ
What video compression standards does the ASC8848ET/M2,551 support?
The ASC8848ET/M2,551 supports H.264 (Baseline and Main Profiles with CAVLC), MPEG-4 Simple Profile, and MJPEG baseline compression. It achieves up to 720p @ 45 fps H.264 encoding or 1080p @ 20 fps, with VBR, CBR, and CVBR rate control modes. These capabilities are confirmed in the ASC884x M2 datasheet and validated in NXP's reference designs using ASC8848ET/M2,551.
Does the ASC8848ET/M2,551 include an integrated Ethernet PHY?
No, the ASC8848ET/M2,551 integrates only an MII Ethernet MAC - it requires an external 10/100 Mbps PHY for physical layer connectivity. This is specified in the ASC884x selection guide, which confirms MII-only support for ASC8848ET/M2,551, unlike ASC8849/885x variants that add GMII/RGMII.
What is the maximum supported sensor resolution for ASC8848ET/M2,551?
The ASC8848ET/M2,551 supports up to 5 MPixels of raw sensor data (Bayer or CMYG) at 12- or 16-bit depth. This limit is explicitly stated in the ASC884x/885x selection guide under "Max sensor resolution" for ASC8848, and applies to both M1 and M2 versions per NXP documentation.
Is the ASC8848ET/M2,551 pin-compatible with other ASC884x devices?
Yes, the ASC8848ET/M2,551 is pin-to-pin compatible with ASC8849ET/M2,551 and ASC885x variants in the TFBGA-484 package, as confirmed in NXP's ASC884x/885x documentation. However, unused pins differ across variants, and software initialization must match the specific device's feature set.
What video output interfaces does ASC8848ET/M2,551 provide?
The ASC8848ET/M2,551 provides 8-bit BT.656 output and supports RGB-24b output for local display. It does not support BT.1120 or HDMI Tx in this variant - those features are reserved for ASC885x devices. The 8-bit BT.656 interface enables direct connection to legacy video DACs or small LCD controllers.
