A '''linear transformer driver''' ('''LTD''') is an annular [[Series and parallel circuits#Parallel circuits|parallel]] connection of switches and [[capacitor]]s designed to deliver rapid high [[Power (physics)|power]] pulses. The LTD was designed at the Institute of High Current Electronics (IHCE) in [[Tomsk]], Russia. The LTD is capable of producing high current pulses, up to 1 mega amps (10<sup>6</sup> [[ampere]]), with a [[risetime]] of less than 100 ns. This is an improvement over [[Marx generator]] based [[pulsed power]] devices which require pulse compression to achieve such fast risetimes. It is being considered as a driver for [[z-pinch]] based [[inertial confinement fusion]].
