| 1. An electronic apparatus including:
a supplying block for supplying a plurality of operative voltages;
at least one operative circuit; and
a distribution bus for distributing at least part of the operative voltages to each operative circuit,
wherein each operative circuit includes a set of devices for generating a set of output voltages from a set of input voltages
of the distributed operative voltages, the input and output voltages spanning an effective range, each device being capable
of sustaining at most a safe voltage between each pair of terminals thereof not higher than the effective range, and wherein
the devices are controlled by a set of auxiliary voltages of the distributed operative voltages spanning an auxiliary range
within the effective range so that a difference between the voltages applied to each pair of terminals thereof is not higher
than the safe voltage.
