摘要:
An integrated circuit device for correcting errors in data read from memory cells includes a decoder, an encoder and a data management module. The data management module is configured to select a correctable raw bit error rate limit from a plurality of raw bit error rate limits by changing a code-rate used by the encoder, wherein a virtual change to the decoder and the encoder occur to change the code rate.

A system and method reading, accumulating and processing soft information for use in LDPC decoding. In accordance with the present invention, an LDPC decoder includes accumulation circuitry to receive soft reads of a cell of the nonvolatile memory storage module and to produce an accumulated soft read that can be used to identify an appropriate LLR for the cell. The accumulation circuitry of the present invention may include, an accumulation RAM, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and a soft accumulation control and sequencing module for accumulating and processing soft information for use in LDPC decoding.
摘要:
A nonvolatile memory storage controller is provided for delivering log likelihood ratios (LLRs) to a low-density parity check (LDPC) decoder for use in the decoding of an LDPC encoded codeword. The controller includes read circuitry for reading an LDPC encoded codeword stored in a nonvolatile memory storage module using a plurality of soft-decision reference voltages to provide a plurality of soft-decision bits representative of the codeword. The controller further includes a plurality of lifetime specific LLR look-up tables representative of the lifetime threshold voltage distribution of the memory storage module, wherein each of the plurality of lifetime specific LLR look-up tables comprises a plurality of LLRs representative of a specific point in the lifetime of the memory storage module for each of the plurality of soft-decision bits. The controller provides the LLRs from the appropriate LLR look-up table to an LDPC decoder for the subsequent decoding of the codeword.
