A method and apparatus for providing galvanic isolation for signal communication between two electrical circuits via a capacitive coupler that is constructed from conductive and non-conductive layers of a printed circuit board. The invention can provide at low cost and with substantial galvanic isolation, the communication of data at rates of greater than 1 megabit per second. The galvanic isolation provided by the invention protects against common mode fields as well as limited differential mode fields. The invention makes use of pre-existing layers of a circuit board and does not require many other or expensive electrical components.
