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!

And of course, the LM4120 is a stability land-mine of its own.

It is senile,
the base will pick up all the noise it can get from the universe.
