Methods and systems are provided for a power module. In one example, the power module may have a half-bridge configuration with electrical terminals arranged at opposite side of the power module, semiconductor chips arranged in a printed circuit board (PCB), a capacitor electrically coupled to the electrical terminals and arranged above and in contact with a top plate of the power module, and one or more connectors coupled to the PCB to couple the power module to external circuits. The power module may be directly cooled by flowing a coolant over the semiconductor chips.
