A prototype wideband High-Level RF (HLRF) sys-tem based on Finemet metal alloy has been installed in CERN's PS Booster (PSB) Ring 4 in 2012, within the frame of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project. A digital Low-Level RF (LLRF) system was used to control the HLRF system to ascertain the capabilities of the combined system, especially under heavy beam loading. The testing campaign was satisfactory and in 2015 the CERN management decided to replace all ferrite-based systems with Finemet ones for the PS Booster restart in 2020. This paper describes the LLRF features implemented for operating the wideband HLRF system and the main beam results obtained. Hints on the LLRF evolution in view of the PSB HLRF renovation are also given.

CERN's Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) low-level RF (LLRF) system has been successfully upgraded in 2016 to the new digital, LLRF family for frequency-sweeping synchrotrons developed at CERN. For LEIR it implements not only beam loops but also the voltage and phase loops required for the control of two Finemet-based High-Level RF (HLRF) systems. This paper gives an overview of the system and of new requirements implemented, such as the parallel operation of two HLRF systems. Beam results for the 2016 lead ions run are also shown.
