    Abstract: A memory access module for performing memory access management of a storage device includes a plurality of storage cells. Each storage cell has a number of possible bit(s) directly corresponding to possible states of the storage cell. The memory access module further includes: a read only memory for storing a program code; and a microprocessor, coupled to the read only memory, for executing the program code to perform the following steps: performing a plurality of sensing operations, wherein a first sensing operation corresponds to a first sensing voltage, and each subsequent sensing operation corresponds to a sensing voltage determined according to a result of the previous sensing operation; using the plurality of sensing operations to generate a first digital value and a second digital value of a storage cell; using the first and the second digital value to obtain soft information of a same bit stored in the storage cell; and using the soft information to perform soft decoding.
