I hate to be argumentative, but you can't be low drop out and use an
emitter follower. Draw the circuit and convince yourself. You would need
a high side driver scheme to drive the base/gate, and that require some
sort of boost converter. It can be done on switchmode chips, but not in
a linear circuit. Well unless you ship it with a battery.
