how to simulate a pll circuit with NI MULTISIM

[aruwin]

I want to simulate a PLL circuit with Multisim 13.0 before building it on the real NI ELVIS 2 breadboard. I want to see what results I should be expecting first, but I couldn't find a 74HC4046 chip in the Multisim software. Does anyone know how I can find the 74hc4046 chip in that software?

Hi there,

When a component is not available in the Multisim Database, you can try to find a SPICE model for the component and then use the Component Wizard (Tools menu) to create a custom component. Click here to learn more about component creation.

Usually, SPICE models can be found in the manufacturer's website. I did a quick search but could not find a model for the 74HC4046.

In Multisim, there is a generic PLL that you could use. It can be found in the Mixed Group, MIXED_VIRTUAL family.
