  • Publication number: 20240086280
    Abstract: A memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a memory controller that encodes data with an error correction code and stores the encoded data in the non-volatile memory. The memory controller executes first processing which is at least a part of first decoding processing using read information read from the non-volatile memory, uses statistical information of a processing result of the first processing to estimate a first indicator indicating a ratio of hard errors among bit errors in the read information, determines parameters for second decoding processing having a higher latency than the first processing according to the first indicator, and executes the second decoding processing by using the determined parameters and the read information.
