Power module

A power module comprising:

• a substrate comprising a top side with a first device pad and a second device pad;
• a first plurality of vertical power devices electrically and mechanically coupled to the first device pad via first drain contacts and a second plurality of vertical power devices electrically and mechanically coupled to the second device pad via second drain contacts to form part of a power circuit;
• a housing, wherein the substrate, the first plurality of vertical power devices, and the second plurality of vertical power devices are within the housing;
• a first power terminal extending through a top surface of the housing to the first device pad;
• a second power terminal extending through the top surface of the housing to the source contacts on a top side of the second plurality of vertical power devices;
• a third power terminal extending through the top surface of the housing to the second device pad;
• a source rail coupled between source contacts on a top side of the first plurality of vertical power devices and the second device pad;
• and
• a plurality of signal terminals that extend into the housing through one side of the housing and are coupled to certain ones of the first plurality of vertical power devices and the second plurality of vertical power devices via bond wires.
