The document discusses the design of a high voltage step-up DC-DC converter using coupled inductor and switched capacitor techniques. It aims to achieve a high step-up voltage gain by charging capacitors in parallel and discharging them in series through a coupled inductor. This allows an input voltage of 24 volts to output 400 volts at an appropriate duty ratio. The converter design is analyzed and its simulation results in a 400 volt output voltage without ripples are presented. A plan of action with timeline is also provided to fabricate and test the converter.
