Hello,
I think, may be very useful for RF equipment designers to make a PLL component for Flowcode.
MB, LMX and MC series PLL synthesizers have a serial interface as SPI, pll internal register length not 8 or 16 bit, but may be 15, 19, 21 bit...
For example old pll ic MB1501 is very simple and useful for "playing", because assembled boards with pll chip and 400-500mhz Voltage Controlled Oscillator can be found from old NMT mobile phones.

Same control type have LMX series synthesizers from Texas Instruments

and Motorola chips

For control pll, microcontroller must send to pll 3 variables, N counter value, R counter value and A counter value (LMX need B counter too).
I think, mey be universal component, where user can choose each counter register length (5-25bit), may be any predefined chips too.
Ideas? Comments?
Thanks!
