Jena - Origin of optical Innovations

Jena has been a worldwide well-known and acknowledged location for leading technologies and innovations for over a century. The city’s success story started in November 1846 when the engineer Carl Zeiss founded the first mechanical workshop. In Ernst Abbe he found a congenial associate and later partner to revolutionize the manufacture of optical instruments. Later Zeiss and Abbe faced the limits of available glass quality and consequently the glass chemist, Otto Schott, joined the partnership. Schott was able to engineer glass with the required characteristics based on numerous theoretical approaches and smelting samples. This was the basis for further revolutionary developments for microscopy and many historic inventions such as the first prism binoculars (1894).

GOEPEL electronic – the History goes on

GOEPEL electronic has been one of the pioneers of the most innovative electrical test technology for electronic components and PCBs, JTAG/Boundary Scan. All engineering tasks required to introduce the Boundary Scan technology up to the generation of product-specific test programs as well as training seminars are part of the overall customer support by GOEPEL electronic.

In the meantime, Automated Optical Inspection has developed to one of the most commanding test technologies in electronic production. In the first year just a few systems were manufactured, but relatively quickly a product range emerged that found an appropriate infrastructure in the new company building, which was opened in 2003.

Additionally, the functional test of electronic assemblies and devices, in particular for Automotive Testing, has been one of the supporting pillars in the Company’s business activities. They are mainly focussed on the requirements of the automotive industry.

Furthermore the customized Functional Test Systemsoptimally suit for the automation of test runs. Integrated in a production line, as test system for final products or as repair station, versatile requirements can be realised with these systems.

In addition to technological and commercial achievements, GOEPEL electronic’s development proves that innovation and quality are decisive factors to achieve top rankings on a highly competitive market. The traditions established so long ago in Jena continue.

Today, GOEPEL electronic is a worldwide leading vendor of innovative test and measurement equipment, accompanied by comprehensive product support and value added services.

The company maintains support and sales offices in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the United States. An extended distribution and service network of more than 300 specialists ensures excellent local and on-site customer support for more several thousand worldwide system installations.

GOEPEL electronic has continuously been ISO9001 certified since 1996and has been honoured with TOP-JOB and TOP-100 awards for being one of the best medium-sized companies in Germany.

GOEPEL electronic’s products won several awards in recent years (Best in test Award) and are used by most of the leading companies in telecommunication, automotive, space and avionics, industrial controls, medical technology and other industries.

Software IP-based Technology from GOEPEL electronic

IP Technology for Chip-embedded Instruments and I/O Modules

Software Recongurable Instruments

ChipVORX® Technology
detected this problem early on and pursued the approach known as
„Software Recongurable Instruments“. This aims to dynamically
adapt hardware and software tools to the actual target mission by means
of appropriate IPs. The system is essentially based on the following
technologies:

VarioTAP® Technology
Example of the functional principle of VarioTAP

VarioTAP is a revolutionary technology for the fusion of Boundary Scan
and processor emulation. It uses VarioTAP models to adapt platform
modules to the target processor. The models are modularly dened as
intelligent software IP and basically offer a multi-level functional structure.

In principle it is possible – in combination with SCANFLEX hardware,
which is also adapted dynamically through software to the corresponding
debugging interface (JTAG, BDM, SBW, SWD, COP, etc.) – to support
all contemporary processors and micro controllers. The same applies to
multi-processor and multi-core designs. This makes VarioTAP the leading
Processor Emulation Technology available on the market.

IC-centered ChipVORX models are functional software IPs with a modular architecture.
This openness serves to simultaneously support several embedded instruments. The same
applies if the instruments are embedded in different chips. FPGA-based instruments are
particularly signicant, because they enable extremely exible applications. In this case,
too, ChipVORX offers an excellent solution, because it supports ESA technologies such as
FPGA-Assisted Test (FAT) and FPGA-Assisted Programming (FAP); at the same time,
it is able to handle soft macros and the required loading into the target FPGA. This means
that ChipVORX models for FPGA are not only able to access and control instruments, they
can also contain such instruments. This type of ChipVORX model focuses on applications
such as:
•
•
•
•

high-speed ash In-System Programming
high-speed access test of DDR-SDRAM
universal frequency and clock measurements
bit error rate test (BERT)

VarioCore is a revolutionary technology for the reconguration of I/O modules. These
modules include:
• SCANFLEX I/O modules (digital/mixed signal)
• PXI I/O modules (digital)
VarioCore IPs, which dynamically adjust the functional scope of a module to the appropriate
test task, serve as their basis. In doing so, the VarioCore IPs can be activated in sequence
and can be immediately accessed and controlled, i.e. without having to reinitialise the
platform. The available functions include:
•
•
•
•

counter/frequency measurement IP
vector generator/recorder IP
digitiser/bus emulator IP
customer-specic IP

Thanks to innovative ChipVORX technology, it was possible to combine Boundary Scan
and Chip-embedded Instruments for the rst time. ChipVORX models are used to
adapt software tools to the target instruments. As a result, the technology is completely
open for any type of instrument.

There is no doubt that the growing number of ESA technologies
are making possible a continuous improvement in the control problems
prevalent while testing, programming and validating state-of-the-art
electronics at chip, board, and system level. In contrast, vendors of proper
testing equipment are facing a severe challenge. GOEPEL electronic
