A new induction synchrotron system using an induction cell has been developed and constructed at KEK*. In that system, the switching power supply is one of the key devices that realize digital acceleration. The requirements of the switching power supply are high voltage (2 kV) and high repetition frequency (1 MHz). In the present system, we used series connected MOSFETs as the switching device. However, series connection gives large complexity and less reliability. Among various switching devices, a SiC-JFET should be a promising candidate because it has ultrafast switching speed and high voltage blocking capability. We have developed a new and original SiC-JFET switching device and a compact switching power supply employing this switching element**. Now it is integrated into the induction acceleration system for the KEK-DA. Furthermore we have started development of the next generation of SiC package, which has higher voltage capability (2.4 kV) and 2 in 1 module construction. At the conference, the first experimental demonstration of heavy ion acceleration utilizing the SiC-JFET and the design status of the new device package will be presented.
