Noise in "Jelly Bean" regulators - Part 5

 After an eternity I finally got a low noise amplifier inside a metal box that didn't oscillate! So, I quickly compared two regulators on my voltage regulator module:

    Regulator                                            Amplified Noise pp

    78L08                                                200mV

    TL431                                               15mV

    78L08 + capacitance multiplier        4mV

 

These readings would need to scaled to match previous results. But for now I have confirmed, in my mind, how much better a TL431 is over a jellybean regulator.
