The authors describe the operation and performance of the Silicon Vertex Detector (SVX`), which replaced the CDF SVX detector for run lb of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The new features of the SVX` include AC coupled readout, Field OXide Field Effect Transistor (FOXFET) biasing and radiation hard front end electronics. The authors expect the detector to survive beyond the 100 pb{sup -1} of data taking anticipated for the present CDF physics run. Preliminary results from the collider data show that the detector has a resolution of about 12 {mu}m. This provides a powerful tool to do top and bottom physics.
