  A new beamline providing circularly polarized x-rays that will cover photon energies from 250 eV to 2.5 keV is under development at the APS. Because of the unique requirements of the circular polarizing undulator constructed for this beamline, a new power supply system design is required. The undulator will contain twelve sets of electromagnetic coils – two main, two quasi-periodic, and eight correctors. The undulator will incorporate variable polarization control and reduction of the magnetic fields at so-called quasi-periodic pole locations for the purpose of suppressing the higher-order radiation harmonics. The challenges met in the power supply system design for the project will be discussed.

The APS booster is a 7-GeV electron synchrotron with 0.5-second cycle time. Both voltage and current ramp modes were in the original design but only the voltage ramp has been commissioned. Two software-based ramp control programs are used to regulate the current waveform to a linear ramp. The system has been operated for user beam operations for many years. Some instability exists in the ramp correction that requires manual intervention from time to time by the operators. Sensitivity of magnet currents to external changes, such as AC line voltage, harmonic interference from the high-power rf system, etc., has been observed. In order to meet the increased single-bunch-charge requirement of the APS upgrade we need more flexible current ramps such as flat porches for injection and extraction and smooth transitions. Recent efforts to develop an energy-saving operation mode also call for ramp improvement. This paper presents test results of a workstation-based current regulation program and an FPGA-based implementation as a future upgrade.
