Abstract
A high breakdown voltage integrated circuit isolator device communicates a digital signal from a signal input on one semiconductor die to a signal output on another semiconductor die while providing high voltage isolation between the signal input and the signal output. Each die may include a respective capacitive isolation barrier structure that couple together via a bonding wire between combined top metal/bonding pads of the capacitive isolation barrier structures.
