Abstract

An inductive voltage adder has been designed to drive 50 ohm stripline kicker magnets for an upgrade to the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to a diffraction limited light source. Several features were included in the design to allow damping potential oscillations and optimizing the rise and fall times. A prototype of this inductive voltage adder has been fabricated and tested into a 25 ohm resistive load to characterize system performance. The design and preliminary test results are presented.
