Once you have obtained the CD4051 SPICE model, you can use it in your SPICE simulator to analyze the behavior of the IC in various circuits. Here are the general steps:
Valid SPICE models for the CD4051 are readily available from Texas Instruments. For highest fidelity, the manufacturer model is recommended over generic "Analog Switch" macros. Engineers should be prepared to perform manual symbol creation in simulation environments like LTspice or ngspice, as the component is not always included in the standard library manifests.

Finding models for older CMOS ICs (4000 series) can be tough, as they are not always provided by modern manufacturers like TI. Here are the best sources: The Best Choice: LTspice Community Model

Finding and Using the CD4051 SPICE Model is a classic 8-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer widely used for signal routing. Because it is a legacy CMOS part, official SPICE models can be difficult to find directly on manufacturer sites like Texas Instruments .
: Inside the .lib file, you'll see the text definitions for several subcircuits. Scroll down until you find the line that starts with either .SUBCKT 4051 A B C ... or .SUBCKT 4051a A B C ... . Between the two models, the 4051a version is generally considered to have a more realistic Transmission Gate (TG) model, meaning it will model the analog switch's behavior more accurately.

Step 2: Include the Library in Your Schematic Once you have obtained the CD4051 SPICE model,
Now go simulate with confidence.

Download the CD4051 model file (often a .lib , .sub , or .cir file). The downloaded file will likely contain a block of code defining the subcircuit, starting with .SUBCKT cd4051 ... and ending with .ENDS . 2. Create a Symbol
Many engineers host SPICE models on GitHub for public use. Engineers should be prepared to perform manual symbol

Place a SPICE directive on your schematic linking the symbol to the model file. You do this by pressing .op and typing: .include C:\Path\To\Your\File\cd4051.lib 3. Defining the Pins
Download cd4051.lib and cd4051.asy (symbol) from their zip archive.
