Leakage current at the inputs of an integrated circuit can be reduced by providing a master/slave arrangement wherein a plurality of slave inputs are controlled by an enable input acting as a master. When the enable input is deactivated, the slave inputs break their leakage current paths. An input structure with improved hysteresis can be provided by coupling a follow-on inverter to the output of the input stage, and coupling a hysteresis feedback circuit to the output of the follow-on inverter. The hysteresis feedback circuit is also connected to a node of the input stage other than the output thereof.
