This paper examines some of the issues involved in the distribution of power from the Main Satellite bus to advanced Mixed Signal Electronics payloads. Trade-offs are described in the design of Bulk voltage conversion vs Point of Load conversion. These trade-offs should support mission objectives of high efficiency, fault tolerance and control of crosstalk between subsystems.
