Can you design digital multisim components?

AI Thread Summary
Multisim does not allow users to design custom components from scratch with specific gate logic; the Component Wizard only permits modifications to existing components. The user is attempting to create a binary-BCD converter for 12 bits, requiring multiple instances of a 4-bit bin-BCD converter made from 15 gates, which exceeds the component limit. They have considered splitting the design into 4-bit sections to manage the complexity. The discussion highlights the limitations of Multisim in creating entirely new ICs for specific designs. Ultimately, users seeking to design complex custom components may need to explore alternative software solutions.

Hi guys,

Just wondering if there Is a way in multisim to design your own components from scratch? basically starting with the input and output pins and you fill in the gate logic on the inside.

Im designing an old school binary-BCD for 12 bits. I've got the theory all figured out, and I have to use like 12 of this custom component I've made. which is basically a 4 bit bin-BCD converter using all AND OR and INV gates. and my 4 bit converter made of logic gates takes like 15 gates. and I need 12 of them in my final converter. which will blow the component limit out the door.

So I want to know is there a way for me to take my 15 gate logic and make an IC out of it that I can then use in multisim?

thanks

PS I've tried component wizard but it doesn't let you build the circuit. just screw around with existing ones, which I also havnt really worked out cause I didn't want to waste my time with it

nevermind. scratched that. split it into 4-bit sections and did each one seperately
