  • Publication number: 20260147669
    Abstract: In a memory system according to an embodiment, a controller determines first likelihood corresponding to first read information by using correspondence in which read information and likelihood are correlated with each other. The controller executes, for each of bits in the first read information, iterative processing of repeating soft-decision decoding including processing of determining posterior value likelihood until satisfying first or second termination condition. The controller executes preprocessing for update processing of the correspondence when satisfying the first termination condition. The controller executes the update processing using the posterior value likelihood after executing the preprocessing. The controller executes further the iterative processing after executing the update processing. The first termination condition represents that the number of repetitions of the soft-decision decoding in the iterative processing is equal to or greater than a first threshold.

  • Publication number: 20260056839
    Abstract: A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a memory controller. The nonvolatile memory stores a concatenated code including a first error correction code and a second error correction code. The memory controller performs, for read information read from the nonvolatile memory, second decoding processing with the second error correction code; if decoding in the second decoding processing fails, performs, for the read information reflecting a correction result of the second decoding processing, first decoding processing with the first error correction code; if decoding in the first decoding processing fails, identifies an intersection of component codes that are in two or more respective different dimensions of the second error correction code and each include an error; and performs modification processing for modifying a symbol in the intersection and further performs the first decoding processing.
