A latch includes a pair of inverters cross-coupled between a storage node and a feedback node. A capacitor is conditionally coupled to the feedback node through a pass gate such that the capacitor is coupled to the feedback node when the latch holds data and is not coupled to the feedback node when the latch is loading. The capacitor reduces the latch's susceptibility to soft errors when holding data, and does not appreciably slow the latch when data is loading. The capacitor is implemented using the gate capacitance of complementary transistors. A flip-flop includes cascaded latches, one or more of which have a switched capacitor on a feedback node.
