Unless you need the 3.3V somewhere. Yes, I need 3.3 to run an ARM processor, 40 mA or so maybe. The ADR could run off the +15, so maybe that's a better way to go. It would cost a little more, but the TC would be a lot better. Maybe I'll do that, the LM1117 for power and the ADR for the reference. Wait! LM4120 will work. +3 ref with 120 mV dropout! John
