    摘要: An error correction device according to this invention includes a first correction unit configured to perform error correction decoding of data by a repetitive operation, and having a full operation state in which the repetitive operation of the error correction decoding is repeated until convergence is obtained and a save operation state in which the number of times of the repetitive operation of the error correction decoding is restricted to a predetermined number of times, an error information estimation unit configured to estimate an input error rate or an output error rate of the first correction unit using a decoding result of the first correction unit, and a control unit configured to control transition between the full operation state and the save operation state of the first correction unit based on at least one piece of information of the input error rate, the output error rate, and an operation time of the first correction unit. According to this invention, it is possible to provide an error correction device that can improve a transmission characteristic while suppressing power consumption.
