Description

The Linac Electronics Modernization Plan (LEMP) replaces the aging CAMAC-based low-level RF (LLRF) controls in SLAC’s normal-conducting LINAC. The new system is based on the open-source Marble FPGA carrier and Zest+ digitizer, with a custom RF front end. A prototype has been deployed and tested at station 26-3, demonstrating key functionality including RF control, interlocks, and waveform capture. Development continues on hardware integration, firmware, and CI/CD workflows. This is a preliminary submission describing current status and upgrade plans.
