Importing SPICE models for some ICs into Multisim

[AMRITHAPRIYA K K]

We need to simulate certain schematics in MULTISIM but we are not able to do it since some of the ICs are not available in MULTISIM. We have got the spice models for some ICs. Will it be possible for anyone to help with the steps of importing spice models in MULTISIM?

Welcome to PF.

It should be possible without too many problems.
What ICs do you need to convert?

What similar ICs are available in MULTISIM now?

I require many ICs for simulation . For few of them I got spice models but I am not able to import it. One of them is 74LV4051PW(8:1 MUX). Can you provide me with the steps?

At what level do you want to simulate your circuits? At a functional/digital level, or a full-resolution SPICE simulation?

Do you have a spice model for that?

I believe you will need to define a .subckt that can be imported.

The 4051 is a 1/8 analog bidirectional switch. It is made from CMOS, MOSFET transmission gates. I expect an accurate model will require you to identify the characteristics of the MOSFETs employed.

Alternatively, you mighty define it as a macro array of SPST switches.

Sometimes it is easier to simulate a circuit with spice.

functional/digital level only

functional/digital level only

Then you don't need a full SPICE model, do you?
