The Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF) booster main specifications including 250 ms ramp up, 2Hz repetition rate, and quasi-sinusoidal wave shape, up to this point have been the basis for calculations. Each family of magnets including Dipole, Quadrupole and Sextupoles will feed by individual power supply. In order to maintain constant transverse tunes and chromaticity while the beam is accelerated, quadrupole and sextupole magnet currents must closely track the current in the dipole magnets. In booster rings, feeding the high inductance load, tracking of Quadrupole and sextupole magnets, reducing output current fluctuation and having a precise high bandwidth current regulation system are particular challenges. In order to meet the requirements, it is necessary to have a fully digital controller to achieve a fast regulation system. The prototype power supply and its test results are described in this paper
