take the package style into account. Package styles can range from the
open-frame type without an enclosure to the completely enclosed type,
like the standard brick.

The quest for multiple source dc-dc converter modules has led to a
family of standard “brick” sizes. There are now “16th-brick” and “eighth-
brick” sizes to go along with the full-bricks, half-bricks, and quarter-
bricks. And, power densities have gone beyond 50W/in.3 Many of these
modules are interchangeable with those of many manufacturers, which
ensures multiple sources. In addition, pinouts of the brick converters
are now a de facto standard, allowing interchangeability between
different manufacturers’ products. Currently, distributed power
architecture (DPA) system bricks can dissipate hundreds of watts. Table
4-1 lists the size for each of the brick sizes. Generally, the larger the size,
the higher the maximum power output.

Modular brick dc-dc converters supplied by the front-end supply

provide electrical isolation, increased load transient performance, and a
modular upgrade path (Fig. 4-1). Their lower output voltage draws a
larger current (for a given power level) and has less tolerance for
deviations in its voltage caused by voltage drops on the lines between
the converter output and its load.
