| 10 | + Here is an example of a boost converter circuit configured for SPICE |
| 11 | + simulation. It uses one voltage source (`V2`) with a square wave to drive |
| 12 | + a MOSFET, boosting the voltage from a 5V DC source (`V1`) to a higher |
| 13 | + level. Voltage probes are placed at the input and output to observe the |
| 14 | + results. |

| 102 | + The simulation results would show the output voltage across `R1` |
| 103 | + successfully "boosted" compared to the 5V input from `V1`. The specific |
| 104 | + output voltage depends on the duty cycle of the MOSFET driver `V2` and the |
| 105 | + component values. |
