    Abstract: An adaptation technique for decoding low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for hard disk drive (HDDs) systems is disclosed. The method includes tuning the normalization factor for LDPC decoding for each data zone and read head during the test stage of manufacturing. The LDPC decoder can be either a sum-product algorithm (SPA) decoder or a Min-Sum decoder. The channel detector can be any soft-output detector, such as a soft-output Viterbit detector (SOVA), a BCJR detector, a pattern-dependent noise-predictive (PDNP) detector, or a bi-directional pattern-dependent noise-predictive (BiPDNP) detector. The adaptation technique can optimize the LDPC decoding performance for each data zone and read head, thereby relaxing the acceptance criteria for hard disk drive read/write heads and disk media, enabling acceptance and use of a much broader range of head and media for hard disk drives.

    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a memory device with soft decision decoding is provided. The memory device includes a memory cell configured to store an input data bit; a memory sensor configured to read out a parameter associated with a state of the memory cell; a detector configured to determine, based on the parameter read out from the memory cell, a soft information indicating the likelihood that the input data bit stored in the memory cell is a “0” or the likelihood that the input data bit stored in the memory cell is a “1”; and a decoder configured to generate a decoded bit based on the soft information. Further embodiments relate to a method of performing soft-decision decoding on a data bit stored in a memory cell of a memory device.

    Abstract: There is provided an error correction method for a non-volatile memory. The method includes receiving a codeword read from the non-volatile memory, computing a reliability information for each bit of the codeword received, and performing a reduced-complexity soft-decision decoding (SDD) technique to decode the received codeword. In particular, the SDD technique includes forming a set of test patterns based on the reliability data, and determining whether to perform a HDD of a test pattern in the set of test patterns based on a distance between the test pattern and a candidate pattern. There is also provided an error correction module for a non-volatile memory and a memory system incorporating the error correction module.
