100 ns current rise time LTD stage

LTD stages are designed to be used as a primary energy storage in high power pulsed generators. Previously the LTD stages with the current rise time of 1000 ns and 450 ns were reported. Present report describes the design and test results of the LTD stage that provides /spl sim/200 kA rising in 100 ns in the matched /spl sim/0.4 Ohm load.
