Arrangements of current conduction for simo converters

A system comprising:

• a single-inductor-multiple-out (SIMO) converter comprising:
• storage circuitry in communication with a plurality of output channels, the storage circuitry being configured to store current and discharge at least some of the stored current into the plurality of output channels;
• and a controller in communication with the SIMO converter, the controller configured to:
• determine one or more fixed ratios of channel conduction periods between the plurality of output channels;
• determine an estimated discharge period for a switching cycle;
• determine channel conduction periods for each of the plurality of output channels, wherein each channel conduction period is based on the one or more fixed ratios of channel conduction periods and the estimated discharge period;
• and
• output switching signals to alternatingly conduct current through the plurality of output channels over the first channel conduction periods in the switching cycle.

A system comprising:

• a SIMO converter comprising:
• storage circuitry configured to store and discharge current;
• a plurality of output channels in communication with the storage circuitry, the plurality of output channels configured to conduct the current discharged from the storage circuitry,
• wherein the plurality of output channels is configured to:
• alternatingly conduct current over a first switching cycle in a first order;
• and
• alternatingly conduct current over a second switching cycle in a second order;
• and
• wherein the second order is a reverse order of the first order.
