Abstract

See full text

A solid state storage device includes a flash memory and a controller configured to store data in the flash memory via a plurality of channels. The stored data is encoded using a low-density parity-check code. Hard-decision decoders are configured to decode encoded data received from the flash memory via respective channels of the plurality of channels using the low-density parity-check code and to provide decoded data to the controller in response to one or more read commands from the controller. A soft-decision decoder is configured to decode the encoded data received from the flash memory using the low-density parity-check code and to provide the decoded data to the controller in response to one of the plurality of hard-decision decoders failing to decode the encoded data. The encoded data is obtained by the soft-decision decoder using a plurality of read-retry operations.
