Abstract: A bit flipping decoder receives a codeword stored in a memory device. The bit flipping decoder determines a plurality of energy function values for the codeword and a least reliable of the energy function values for the codeword. In response to the bit flipping decoder determining the least reliable energy function value fails to satisfy a bit flipping criterion of a current iteration, the bit flipping decoder increments an iteration count. The incrementing of the iteration count bypasses a comparison of the plurality of energy function values with the bit flipping criterion of the current iteration.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to a multi-level error correction architecture used for copying data in memory devices. In one approach, user data is stored in the first partition of a non-volatile memory. First error correction code data is generated for the user data and stored with the user data in the first partition. Second error correction code data is generated for the user data and stored outside the first partition. The second error correction code data provides an increased error correcting capability that is compatible with the error correction algorithm used with the first error correction code data. A copyback operation is used to copy the user data and the first error correction code, but not the second error correction code, to a second partition of the non-volatile memory. The second error correction code can be selectively used if there is a need to recover portions of the user data stored in the first partition.

Abstract: A system related to providing multi-layer code rates for special event protection with reduced performance penalty for memories is disclosed. Based on an impending stress event, extra error correction code data is utilized to encode user data obtained from a host. The user data and first error correction code data are written to a first block and the extra error correction code data is written to a second block. Upon stress event completion, pages having user data with the extra error correction code data are scanned. If pages of the first block are unable to satisfy reliability requirements, a touch-up process is executed on each page in the first block to reinstate the first block so that the extra error correction code data is no longer needed. The extra error correction code data is deleted from the second block and the second block is made available for user data.
