    Abstract: A system for decoding data stored in a non-volatile storage device may include processing circuits configured to decode, in a first iteration, each of a plurality of component codes corresponding to the data by performing a first number of enumerations over hypotheses. The processing circuits may be configured to determine, in the first iteration, an extrinsic value output for each of the component codes based on log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) of one or more error bits of a codeword. The processing circuits may be configured to determine a second number of enumerations based on the extrinsic value. The processing circuits may be configured to decode, in a second iteration, each of the plurality of component codes by performing the second number of enumerations over hypotheses.

    Abstract: A flash memory system may include a flash memory and a circuit for decoding a result of a read operation on the flash memory using a first codeword. The circuit may be configured to generate an estimated codeword based on a result of hard decoding the first codeword and a result of hard decoding a second codeword. The circuit may be further configured to generate soft information based on the hard decoding result of the first codeword and the estimated codeword. The circuit may be further configured to decode the result of the read operation on the flash memory using the soft information.

    Abstract: Various implementations described herein relate to systems and methods for decoding data stored in a non-volatile storage device, including determining error candidates and determining whether at least one first error candidate from the error candidates is found based on two of the component codes agreeing on a same error candidate. In addition, whether at least one second error candidate is found based on two of the component codes agreeing on a same error candidate is determined in response to implementing a suggested correction at one of the error candidates. Errors in the data are corrected based on at least one of whether the at least one first error candidate is found or whether the at least one second error candidate is found.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are related to a system and a method for adjusting a read voltage threshold to read data from a plurality of memory dies of a nonvolatile memory device. Each of the plurality of memory dies comprises a plurality of blocks. A controller in communication with the plurality of memory dies may read, from a first block of the plurality of blocks, data corresponding to a read command received from a host. The controller may determine a bit error rate for the first block based on the data. The controller may update the read voltage threshold for the first block when the bit error rate for the first block exceeds a first error threshold. The read voltage threshold may be stored in the controller.
