Where can I find a 74185 IC?

Hi all.
I'm working with the trial version of Multisim Pro 10 to design a circuit for a class (we have the licensed version of 8, but it's not available for my computer).  My circuit requires a 74185 IC, a binary-to-BCD converter.  We have it in our lab, but Multisim doesn't.  Does anybody know where I can find this chip for Multisim?  Does anybody have a substitute?  I tried building it with shift registers, but I couldn't get it to work.  Thanks!

I looked in the database for something to substitute and found nothing. I even went back to my MS 2001 version and looked there and still came up empty. I searched for a spice model and found none. The only thing I did find was the Datasheet and that wasn't very helpful.

Basically, there is nothing available for this IC. This is probably why it wasn't included in MS. You find that sometimes and there is nothing you can really do.

Maybe you could post your MS file where you were trying to create it with shift registers and maybe we can get that working for you. At least you may be able to use that as a subcircuit in your main circuit as a replacement for the actual part.

Thanks, Lacy.

I think I'm just going to build a mock IC that displays the pin connections.  The rest of the circuit is working fine, so once I have this piece, it should scale from 2 bits to 4 bits without issue.

I'm surprised that the 74185 doesn't seem to exist anywhere.  The chip has been discontinued, but it's not that old compared to a lot of the others.  Oh well.  Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone, I have also been looking for this IC but could not find it. Im now on my way to build one from scratch. If I fail, I will let you know.
