Product details
Overview
ASC8850AETE from NXP Semiconductors is a high-performance IP camera SoC integrating ARM926EJ-S CPU (600 MHz), 12 MPixel sensor interface, dual H.264/MJPEG hardware encoders, and 24-bit RGB video output supporting 1080p @ 60 fps. It delivers full HD surveillance encoding with ROI, SVC-T, and intelligent video analytics including motion detection across 16 windows - deployed in networked security cameras requiring low-bitrate, low-power 1080p streaming.
For engineers reviewing the ASC8850AETE datasheet, ASC8850AETE pinout, ASC8850AETE application, or ASC8850AETE equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping to TFBGA-484, confirmed multi-stream compression capabilities (H.264 High Profile + MJPEG @ 1080p/45 fps), power consumption (<1.5 W at 1080p/60), and pin-to-pin compatibility within the ASC885xA family for seamless design migration.
Technical Context
The ASC8850AETE implements a dedicated image signal processing (ISP) pipeline with 3D noise reduction, motion-adaptive de-interlacing, digital WDR, and photometric/geometric lens correction. Its dual independent hardware encoders support simultaneous H.264 High Profile (1080p @ 35 fps) and MJPEG (1080p @ 45 fps) streams with CAVLC/CABAC entropy coding and up to two reference frames.
It integrates a 600 MHz ARM926EJ-S core with 16 KB I-Cache and 16 KB D-Cache running Linux 2.6, paired with dual 16-bit DDR-II/III channels (up to 2 GB total). Video input supports 16-bit raw CMOS/CCD sensors (up to 180 MHz pixel clock), BT.656 (8-channel), and BT.1120, while output includes 24-bit RGB, BT.1120, and BT.656 for HDMI/HD-SDI/LCD interfaces.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IP camera SoC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASC8851AETE | Same TFBGA-484 package, identical pinout, but rated for 1080p @ 45 fps H.264 and 9×D1 @ 30 fps - higher compression throughput. | Better suited for multi-sensor aggregation or higher-frame-rate analytics pipelines where bandwidth headroom is critical. | Select ASC8851AETE when >35 fps 1080p H.264 encoding or >7×D1 throughput is required; ASC8850AETE remains optimal for cost-sensitive 1080p/35 fps deployments. |
| ASC8849AETE | Lower 500 MHz ARM926EJ-S clock, max 5 MPixel sensor support, and 1080p @ 25 fps H.264 - reduced compute and memory bandwidth. | Targeted at entry-level 1080p/25 fps fixed-focus cameras with basic motion detection and no SVC-T or ROI requirements. | Choose ASC8849AETE for lower-power, lower-cost designs where 12 MPixel support and advanced encoding features are unnecessary. |
Compared with ASC8851AETE and ASC8849AETE, the ASC8850AETE balances 12 MPixel sensor capability, 1080p/35 fps H.264 encoding, and <1.5 W power consumption - making it the optimal choice for mainstream HD surveillance cameras needing upgrade path compatibility without over-spec'ing performance or cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum H.264 encoding resolution and frame rate supported by ASC8850AETE?
The ASC8850AETE supports H.264 High Profile encoding up to 1080p @ 35 fps or 7×D1 @ 30 fps, as confirmed in the official NXP selection guide. This performance level is enabled by its dedicated hardware encoder with CABAC/CAVLC entropy coding and up to two reference frames - sufficient for full HD streaming in bandwidth-constrained environments without compromising visual fidelity.
Does ASC8850AETE support both H.264 and MJPEG encoding simultaneously?
Yes, ASC8850AETE integrates independent H.264 and MJPEG hardware encoding engines. It can generate concurrent streams such as H.264 (1080p @ 30 fps) plus MJPEG (1080p @ 45 fps), enabling low-latency local preview while maintaining secure, compressed remote transmission - a key requirement for professional surveillance systems using the ASC8850AETE.
What video input interfaces does ASC8850AETE support?
ASC8850AETE supports 16-bit raw Bayer/CMYG sensor input (up to 12 MPixels, 180 MHz pixel clock), BT.656 (8-channel), BT.1120, and BT.601. It also interfaces with external HDMI/HD-SDI receivers and analog front-ends for CCD sensors - providing flexible integration across CMOS and legacy imaging technologies in designs using the ASC8850AETE.
Is ASC8850AETE pin-to-pin compatible with other members of the ASC885xA family?
Yes, ASC8850AETE is fully pin-to-pin and software-compatible with ASC8851AETE and ASC8852AETE, as stated in NXP documentation. This allows direct substitution to scale frame rate or resolution without PCB changes - a critical advantage when upgrading existing camera platforms that already use the ASC8850AETE or adjacent variants.
What memory configurations does ASC8850AETE support?
ASC8850AETE supports two independent 16-bit DDR-II or DDR-III channels, each configurable up to 1 GB DDR-III or 512 MB DDR-II, operating at 400 MHz. This enables up to 2 GB total SDRAM capacity - essential for multi-stream buffering, ISP frame stores, and Linux application memory in systems built around the ASC8850AETE.
