A circuit for storing data in an integrated circuit is described. The circuit comprises an input adapted to receive the data; a memory element coupled to the input, the memory element comprising a storage node for storing the data; at least one node that is separate from the storage node for storing the data; and at least a portion of a dummy transistor coupled to the at least one node that is separate from the storage node for storing the data. A method of storing data in an integrated circuit is also described.
