[time-nuts] ULN regulator with more current capability than LT3042?

Reviving the conversation about superb voltage regulators, I am looking 
for one to run the analog and PLL bits of a high performance frequency 
synthesizer chip.

The current drain looks to be about 160-180 mA at 1.8 V, which is 
uncomfortably close to the limit for the LT3042 (200 mA).  The 
manufacturer's evaluation board uses a MAX8869, which appears to be 
nowhere in the LT3042's league, but will source 1 A.

Any recommendations for a 1.8 V regulator a little beefier than the 
LT3042, but with similar noise performance?

Thanks!
John
