Hi All
,
I find it interesting that this subject came up just as I was looking
into cleaning up some of my supplies that power my RB's.
Anyway
I just bought two of these to play with

and they're based on this device...
The LTC datasheet crows about low current in dropout. Yeah, it's worth
crowing about since not all chip use what is called a sat catcher
circuit. High current in dropout with PNP pass devices can be a problem.
I've seen Micrel regulators that are horrible in dropout. The sat
catcher is yet
