Abstract:
A decoding method, a memory storage device and a memory controlling circuit unit are provided. The method includes: reading memory cells according to a first reading voltage to obtain first verifying bits; executing a decoding procedure including a probability decoding algorithm according to the first verifying bits to obtain first decoded bits, and determining whether a decoding is successful by using the decoded bits; if the decoding is failed, reading the memory cells according to a second reading voltage to obtain second verifying bits, and executing the decoding procedure according to the second verifying bits to obtain second decoded bits. The second reading voltage is different from the first reading voltage, and the number of the second reading voltage is equal to the number of the first reading voltage. Accordingly, the ability for correcting errors is improved.
Abstract:
A data processing method adapted for a rewritable non-volatile memory module is provided. The method includes receiving a first data stream and performing an error-correction encoding procedure on the first data stream to generate an original error checking and correcting (ECC) code corresponding to the first data stream. The method also includes converting the original ECC code into a second ECC code according to a second rearrangement rule, and the original ECC code is different from the second ECC code. The method further includes respectively writing the first data stream and the second ECC code into a data bit area and an error-correction code bit area of the same or different physical programming units in the rewritable non-volatile memory module.
