	Funding: Funding by U.S. Department of Energy SBIR program. Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) has developed high power, solid-state Marx Bank modulators for a range of accelerators and colliders. We estimate the Marx topology can deliver equivalent performance to conventional designs, while reducing system costs by 25-50%. In this paper DTI will describe the application of Marx based technology to a long-pulse (140 kV, 160 A, 1.5 ms) modulator design focused on the International Linear Collider. The primary engineering challenge is minimizing the overall size and cost of the storage capacitors in the modulator. Unique choices in components and controls are needed, including the use of electrolytic capacitors. This paper will review recent progress in the development and testing of this long pulse Marx modulator built under a U.S. Department of Energy Phase II SBIR grant.
