A linear transformer driver (LTD) is a [[torus]]cylindrically shaped [[Series and parallel circuits#Parallel circuits| parallel]] connection of switchswitches and [[capacitorcapacitors]] units designed to deliver rapid high [[Power (physics)|power]] pulses. The LTD is capable of producing high current pulses with fast risetimes 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 candidatedriver for potential highz-yieldpinch based [[nuclearinertial confinement fusion]].
