    摘要: A controller for a nonvolatile memory device includes a transfer control module and a decoder module. The transfer control module is configured to request a read of data from a flash memory module. The data to be read includes data corresponding to a first codeword. The transfer control module is configured to receive hard decisions corresponding to the first codeword from the flash memory module. The transfer control module is configured to receive soft information corresponding to the first codeword from the flash memory module. Both the hard decisions corresponding to the first codeword and the soft information corresponding to the first codeword are received without receiving any intervening hard decisions or soft information corresponding to another codeword. The decoder module is configured to decode the first codeword using the hard decisions and the soft information corresponding to the first codeword.

    摘要: A random noise generation module for generating noisy LLRs for testing an error correction circuit of a nonvolatile memory storage module. The random noise generation module includes a coefficient generator for generating one or a plurality of coefficients, each of the plurality of coefficients associated with one region of a plurality of regions defining a linear space proportionately divided according to an area under a probability distribution curve for a nonvolatile memory storage module. The random noise generation module further includes a linear random number generator for generating a linear random number and a comparator for comparing the linear random number to one or more of the plurality of coefficients to identify the region of the plurality of regions of the probability distribution curve in which the linear random number belongs to generate a noisy LLR for testing an error correction circuit of a nonvolatile memory storage module.

    摘要: A modified soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA) detector receives a sequence of soft information values and determines a best path and an alternate path for each soft information value and further determines, when the best and alternate paths lead to the same value for a given soft information value, whether there is a third path departing from the alternate path that leads to an opposite decision with respect to the best path for a given soft information value. The SOVA detector then considers this third path when updating the reliability of the best path. The modified SOVA detector achieves max-log-map equivalence effectively through the Fossorier approach and includes modified reliability metric units for the first N stages of the SOVA detector, where N is the memory depth of a given path, and includes conventional reliability metric units for the remaining stages of the detector.
