The Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) to a diffraction-limited storage ring with a small vacuum chamber diameter requires excellent orbit stability and a fast response orbit interlock for machine protection. The on-axis swap-out injection scheme and dual RF frequencies demand fast monitoring of pulsed injection magnets and a novel approach to timing. Recent development efforts at ALS and advances in PLLs, FPGAs, and RFSoCs that provide higher performance and mixed-signal integration can be leveraged for instrumentation solutions to these accelerator challenges. An overview of preliminary ALS-U instrumentation system designs and status will be presented.
