Add PIC16F628 to MultiSim9

[gygabyte017]

Hello, this is my first post.

I'd like to create a virtual circuit in Multisim9 using PIC16F628, but it isn't present in components database. How to add it?

Thank you for any answer,

A 16F628 is a micro-controller (as I'm sure you know), so it can be programmed to do an incredible range of jobs - so you would need a simulator for the 16F628, which ISN'T like a circuit simulator.

There's seems little point in wanting to do such a thing though?.

Well it would be quite useful if you could add Microcontrollers to simulated circuits, mainly because it'd completely remove the need for a development environment and of course you've got all the virtual test equipment to hand then as well.

Of course, you've always got to doubt the accuracy of a simulated circuit. In the past I've only ever found Multisim, which is one of the better circuit simulators, to be occasionaly (and mildly) useful.
