- Active components
- Diversify what you can
- Discretes
- Diodes
- Mosfets
- Integrated Components
- Different packages or packaging

- Guessed BCP54 - BCP52
- Anything that is a complement
- PCB Crosstalk
- Video by Robert Feranec with Eric Bogatin
- What causes PCB crosstalk?
- Capacitive coupling
- Inductive coupling
- Effects of pcb crosstalk
- How do we mitigate pcb crosstalk?
- One other form of “crosstalk” that really isn't crosstalk
- Poor filtering and PSRR
