Abstract
An embodiment of an electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a supplying block for supplying a plurality of operative voltages, one or more operative circuits and a distribution bus for distributing at least part of the operative voltages to each operative circuit. Each operative circuit includes a set of devices for generating a set of output voltages from a set of input ones of the distributed operative voltages. The input and output voltages span an effective range. Each device is capable of sustaining at most a safe voltage between each pair of terminals thereof not higher than the effective range. The devices are controlled by a set of auxiliary ones of the distributed operative voltages spanning an auxiliary range within the effective range, so that a difference between the voltage applied to each pair of terminals thereof is not higher than the safe voltage.
