摘要:
A Viterbi decoder which operates a plurality of states at one time to thereby decode a plurality of channels at an increased speed. The decoder includes a branch metric calculating unit which receives convolutional data and calculates a plurality of branch metrics. A branch metric allocating unit allocates the plurality of branch metrics as even and odd branch metrics. A state metric storing unit stores a current state metric and allocates a plurality of state metrics as even and odd state metrics. First and second add-compare-select (ACS) units perform addition, comparison, and selection on the even branch and state metrics, and select paths having optimum distances. Third and fourth ACS units perform addition, comparison, and selection on the odd branch and state metrics, and select paths having optimum distances. A path tracing logic unit traces the path selection information selected in the first through fourth ACS units, and outputs decoded data. A path storing unit stores a path selection signal generated and selected in the path selection information controller.

Memory devices and/or methods of managing memory data errors are provided. A memory device detects and corrects an error bit of data read from a plurality of memory cells, and identifies a memory cell storing the detected error bit. The memory device assigns a verification voltage to each of the plurality of first memory cells, the assigned verification voltage corresponding to the corrected bit for the identified memory cell, the assigned verification voltage corresponding to the read data for the remaining memory cells. The memory device readjusts the data stored in the plurality of memory cells using the assigned verification voltage. Through this, it is possible to increase a retention period of the data of the memory device.

Encoding/decoding memory devices and methods thereof may be provided. A memory device according to example embodiments may include a memory cell array and a processor including at least one of a decoder and an encoder. The processor may be configured to adjust a redundant information rate of each channel, where each of the channels is a path of the memory cell array from which data is at least one of stored and read. The redundant information rate may be adjusted by generating at least one codeword based on information from a previous codeword. Therefore, example embodiments may reduce an error rate when data is read from and written to the memory device.
