A magneto coupler for magnetic coupling of signal lines. The magneto coupler includes a circuit board including a first and second electrical connecting devices for connecting a first and second signal lines, respectively, and a semiconductor chip situated on the circuit board. The magneto coupler includes at least one transmitter coil situated in the area of the semiconductor chip, designed to generate a magnetic field based on an electrical signal received via the first electrical connecting device, and a magnetic field-sensitive sensor situated on the semiconductor chip and electrically insulated from the transmitter coil using an insulation barrier, for detecting the magnetic field generated by the transmitter coil and for outputting an electrical signal as a function of the detected magnetic field on the second electrical connecting device. The transmitter coil is situated on the circuit board, while the semiconductor chip is situated above the transmitter coil.
