Within the frame of the project for a multi bunch feedback system for the Swiss Light Source (SLS), a new family of 500 MS/s analog to digital and digital to analog conversion boards with an 8 bit resolution has been developed, containing on board MUX and DEMUX circuitry to reduce data rates to approximately 20 MS/s using up to ten Front Panel Data Port (FPDP) ports. Using six quad processor DSP boards, full bandwidth bunch by bunch feedbacks in the transverse and longitudinal planes are set up to provide bunch by bunch correction kicks with a 2 nsec resolution. We report on the hardware setup and properties as well as feedback performance in the SLS storage ring.

Rapid progress in digital electronics allows digitization of monitor signals at a very early stage of the signal processing chain, providing optimum performance and maximum flexibility for today's accelerator instrumentation. While the analog front-ends of such systems are usually specific for each monitor type, the subsequent digital part of the processing chain can be unified for many different measurement tasks. The "VME generic PMC Carrier board" (VPC) was developed to achieve this unification at the PSI electron and proton accelerator diagnostics and fast data acquisition and feedback systems. The core of the VME64x board consists of two Virtex2Pro FPGAs with two PowerPCs each, a floating point DSP and RAM. The FPGAs can acquire and process measurement data from the VMEbus P0/P2 connectors or from two application-dependent PMC mezzanine modules. Two 2 GBaud fibre optics transceivers may also be used to aquire or distribute measurement data. Envisaged applications include digital beam position (DBPM) and current monitors for proton beams, data processing for a muon decay experiment, and general beam diagnostics as well as global feedbacks at SLS accelerators and beamlines.

The SLS Fast Orbit Feedback (FOFB) was successfully commissioned in 2003. Since November 2003 it runs during user operation of the accelerator. Taking into account 72 Digital Beam Position Monitors (DBPMs), the FOFB applies SVD-based global orbit corrections for 72 horizontal (x) and 72 vertical (y) correctors at a rate of 4 kHz, compared to ~0.5 Hz for the Slow Orbit Feedback (SOFB) that was used so far. While the SOFB was important for the elimination of orbit drifts due to temperature changes and slowly moving insertion device (ID) gaps, the FOFB is also able to damp orbit oscillations that are caused by fast changes of ID gaps or magnets, by ground and girder vibrations, 3 Hz booster crosstalk and power supply noise. This report presents experience from commissioning and user operation of the FOFB.
