Abstract

This paper introduces the requirements for power converters needed for particle accelerators. It describes the role of power converters and the challenges and constraints when powering magnets. The different circuit layouts are presented as well as the operating cycles. The power converter control and high precision definition are also introduced. This paper lists the key circuit parameters to be taken into consideration to properly specify apower converter that can be compiled in a functional specification.
