Bourns has released a new series of shielded power inductors, the SRP2008DP, designed to reduce EMI in tightly packed DC-DC converter circuits for consumer electronics and industrial power systems. These inductors aim to address the demand for power density in electronics, where noise and EMI are top concerns due to interference between closely packed components. The shielded construction helps manage risks associated with radiated emissions and electromagnetic compatibility compliance without occupying excessive PCB space. The compact shielded inductors feature a metal-alloy powder core and a low-profile package to deliver high saturation current and maintain performance across a wide temperature range.

Engineering on Friday ‘toon: The Meowplifier v1.0

The article discusses a project called the Meowplifier v1.0, a visual representation of a cat sound amplification collar. The project was born out of the idea to amplify a cat's meows to be super loud. The creator, an engineer, faced "project paralysis" due to too many ideas and limited resources. The cartoon was hand-drawn, taking about 4 hours without the use of AI. The creator experimented with coloring techniques and expressed a desire to see the project come to life through a crowdfunding approach.
