I would be hesitant to install an LM1117 in there. If you look at datasheet this chip, the output capacitor calls for a low ESR 10uF tantalum capacitor between .3 and 22ohm. It also needs a much bigger value input capacitor than the LM3940
The datasheet for the LM3940 specifies a low ESR ceramic Capacitor. These capacitors ESR are typical between 0.01 and 0.1 ohms.
On the other hand, I have 4 those LDO's and willing to donate one. Send me a private email.
