The Synchrotron Radiation source under construction at the LNLS in Brazil is composed of 12 bending magnets and 3 quadrupole families. This paper reports on a new topology of high-performance dc current power supply developed to feed the magnets. The main goal is to get a high performance (mean current stability, tracking, repeatability and ripple better than 100 ppm), highly efficient and reliable system. To achieve these goals, a new power supply topology was developed based on a modular switched-mode power supply associated in series with a 6 pulse SCR bridge. To reduce possible high levels of electromagnetic interference, only a small fraction of the total load voltage is used to feed the SMPS; more than 90% of the power is delivered by the SCR bridge. Furthermore, the load current is shared among the SMPS modules, so that each one switches only a fraction of the total current.
