Line 1: A '''linear transformer driver''' ('''LTD''') within [[physics]] and [[energy]], is an annular [[Series and parallel circuits#Parallel circuits\|parallel]] connection of switches and [[capacitor]]s. The driver is designed to deliver rapid high [[Power (physics)\|power]] pulses. The LTD was invented at the [[Institute of High Current Electronics]] (IHCE) in [[Tomsk]], Russia. The LTD is capable of producing high-current high-voltage pulses of up to 1 mega amps (10<sup>6</sup> [[ampere]]), with a [[~~risetime~~rise time]] of less than 100 ns.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Linear Transformer Driver \|url=https://www.sandia.gov/pulsed-power/advanced-pulsed-power-concepts/linear-transformer-driver/ \|website=Pulsed-Power Science and Technology \|access-date=3 June 2025}}</ref> 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]]. ==LTDs at Sandia National Laboratories==
