Abstract

See full text

Aspects of the disclosure pertain to methods and systems that are configured to handle excessive read noise in soft read systems. In an implementation, a method includes determining a number of unexpected patterns of a soft read of a memory cell after a soft decoding failure. The method also includes determining whether the number of unexpected patterns is greater than a threshold number of unexpected patterns. When it is determined that the number of unexpected patterns is greater than the threshold number of unexpected patterns, the method at least one of: performing at least one more soft read of the memory cell with a larger read voltage spacing than an initial read that produced the soft decoding failure; and discarding a result of one or more soft reads of the memory cell and utilizing a remainder of results of respective other soft reads of the memory.
