  A low-la­tency, bunch-by-bunch feed­back sys­tem em­ploy­ing high-res­o­lu­tion cav­ity Beam Po­si­tion Mon­i­tors (BPMs) has been de­vel­oped and tested at the Ac­cel­er­a­tor Test Fa­cil­ity (ATF2) at the High En­ergy Ac­cel­er­a­tor Re­search Or­ga­ni­za­tion (KEK), Japan. The feed­back sys­tem was de­signed to demon­strate nanome­ter-level ver­ti­cal sta­bi­liza­tion at the focal point of the ATF2 and can be op­er­ated using ei­ther a sin­gle BPM to pro­vide local beam sta­bi­liza­tion, or by using two BPMs to sta­bi­lize the beam at an in­ter­me­di­ate lo­ca­tion. The feed­back cor­rec­tion is im­ple­mented using a stripline kicker and the feed­back cal­cu­la­tions are per­formed on a dig­i­tal board con­structed around a Field Pro­gram­ma­ble Gate Array (FPGA). The feed­back per­for­mance was tested with trains of two bunches, sep­a­rated by 280ns, at a charge of ~1nC, where the ver­ti­cal off­set of the first bunch was mea­sured and used to cal­cu­late the cor­rec­tion to be ap­plied to the sec­ond bunch. The BPMs have been demon­strated to achieve an op­er­a­tional res­o­lu­tion of ~20nm. With the ap­pli­ca­tion of sin­gle-BPM and two-BPM feed­back, beam sta­bi­liza­tion of below 50nm and 41nm re­spec­tively has been achieved with a la­tency of 232ns.
