  • Patent number: 11106518
    Abstract: A method for error correction in a memory system includes determining a bit error ratio for a memory block of the memory system during a read operation. The method further includes determining whether the bit error ratio is between a first threshold and a second threshold. The method further includes based on a determination that the bit error ratio is between the first threshold and the second threshold, performing a select gate drain (SGD) read operation on a SGD word line of the memory block. The method further includes generating first soft bit data using SGD data corresponding to the SGD read operation. The method further includes performing a low-density parity-check correction using the first soft bit data on the memory block.

  • Patent number: 10713157
    Abstract: A storage system and method for improving read performance using multiple copies of a logical-to-physical address table are provided. In one embodiment, a method for parallelism is provided that is performed in a storage system comprising a plurality of memory areas accessible in parallel, wherein each memory area stores a copy of a logical-to-physical address table. The method comprises reading portions of the logical-to-physical address tables in parallel from the plurality of memory areas, wherein the portions comprise translations for logical addresses associated with a plurality of memory commands; translating the logical addresses associated with the plurality of memory commands into physical addresses using the read portions; and performing the plurality of memory commands. Other embodiments are provided.
