Solution Approach 1:

The voltage conversion circuit is divided into two stages: a first voltage conversion circuit and a second voltage conversion circuit. The first stage performs initial voltage conversion with high step-up ratio, and the second stage performs final voltage conversion with low step-up ratio. This segmentation allows each stage to operate at optimal efficiency points, reducing overall energy loss and heat generation while maintaining manageable device complexity through modular design.
