    Abstract: A low density parity check (LDPC) decoder initializing variable nodes with a value of a codeword and outputting the updated variable nodes as decoded messages with reference to an irregular parity check matrix. The LDPC decoder includes a plurality of unit logic circuits operating in a single mode in which all the unit logic circuits update one variable node group including at least one variable node, or a multi-mode in which each of the unit logic circuits updates a plurality of variable node groups in parallel by updating different variable nodes, and a mode controller controlling the plurality of unit logic circuits to update a high-degree variable node group having a degree greater than a threshold degree among the variable node groups in the single mode, and update a low-degree variable node group having a degree less than or equal to the threshold degree among the variable node groups in the multi-mode.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a cell array including a plurality of pages and a control logic configured to control program and read operations of the cell array. The control logic controls the program and read operations to store first through N-th codewords in a first page among the pages and program a page parity corresponding in common to the first through N-th codewords to the first page in response to a program command for a page unit and to selectively read the first codeword among the first through N-th codewords in response to a read command for a sub-page unit, where N is an integer of at least 2. The first codeword includes first sub-page data and a first sub-parity corresponding thereto, and the first sub-parity includes information for correcting an error in the first sub-page data through error correction code (ECC) decoding independently performed on each codeword.

    Abstract: A storage controller includes parallel input channels configured for simultaneously receiving data from substantially redundant memories, an error estimation unit, a decision unit, an error correction unit and a selection unit. The error estimation unit generates error information by estimating an error level of the plurality of data. The decision unit performs a logical operation on the plurality of data to generate operation data. The error correction unit generates error correction data by correcting an error of the operation data. The selection unit selects one of the operation data or the error correction data based on the error information.

    Abstract: A memory controller includes a processor, which is configured to determine one of a first operation mode and a second operation mode as an operation mode based on a lifespan or retention of a memory device. The processor is configured to transmit to the memory device, a read command for obtaining hard decision (HD) data and a first piece of SD data during a time period of a single read, or a read command for obtaining a second piece of SD data from a plurality of reads. A decoding circuit is configured to perform iterative decoding based on the first piece of SD data or the second piece of SD data. The first operation mode is for sequentially transmitting the coarse SD read command and the fine SD read command to the memory device, whereas the second operation mode is for transmitting the fine SD read command.
