GOEPEL electronic introduces a prototype version of the Company’s JTAG/Boundary Scan software platform SYSTEM CASCON with integrated tools supporting the current version of the upcoming IEEE P1687 (IJTAG) standard. IEEE P1687 focuses on the standardisation of the access to and the documentation of the control of chip-embedded instruments, without limiting the number or type of instruments.

The LIN bus was standardized in the late 1990s, and has been in widespread use in the automotive industry since. The reason for its introduction was the necessity to increase the communication capability that pushed the envelope of CAN networks because of high numbers of ECUs and data volume in vehicles. From an economic point of view the challenge was to develop a cheaper alternative to the relatively complex CAN interface. A LIN network always...

The “joker in a test system” – today CAN, tomorrow LIN, the day after tomorrow FlexRay and next week all together?

Since the first generation of MOST networks in vehicles, the range of users is still growing, with the result that many different suppliers are developing electronic control units (ECU) providing a MOST interface. Therefore detailed compliance testing is required in order to eliminate faults and to ensure the correct behaviour of different MOST interfaces in the same network. By focusing on the challenge of testing, the PXI standard and simultane...

GOEPEL electronic’s Automated X-Ray and Optical Inspection systems (AXI/AOI) are now available to the North American market. This is another important strategic step towards meeting the significantly increased demands for optical test equipment for mounted PCBs in the US and Canada.

First Contract Electronics Manufacturer in the UK to incorporate GOEPEL electronic JTAG/ Boundary Scan technology into a Teradyne Test station. The British Contract Electronics Manufacturing Company eXception EMS has simplified and integrated Boundary Scan solutions into mainstream test strategy by incorporating equipment from GOEPEL electronic into a Teradyne test station.

GOEPEL electronic’s 3D x-ray inspection system OptiCon X-Line 3D enables a safe quality control of solder joints on opposed mounted BGA components, e.g. in double-sided equipped DDR-RAM modules. In the inline production process, single-sided and double-sided equipped PCBs can be inspected within one test run.

GOEPEL electronic has developed special VarioTAP IPs for testing the new generation of femtocell chips in cooperation with Picochip. The solution enables dynamic processor emulation tests (PET) for fault detection and diagnostic on board and system level, as well as supporting embedded Flash programming.

Providing a new low cost solution supporting ECU communication via LIN bus, GOEPEL electronic specifically aims to support users mainly executing basic tasks in LIN communication, e.g. functional tests of ECUs (electronic control units). The new module is named PXI 3078.
