A method and system for decoding information read from a non-volatile memory uses a two stage decoding algorithm, where the first stage is a high-speed, low precision decoder and the second stage is a low-speed, high precision decoder. Most of the time only the first stage of the decoder is used, which lowers the average power consumption of the decoding process.

Dual-stage data decoding for non-volatile memories

Method for encoding information in a flash memory block which combines an independent encoding of each page with a block-level code across multiple pages. The method includes two independent error correction codes, one in horizontal direction and one in vertical direction, with horizontal direction error correction decoding; and vertical direction erasure correction decoding.
