Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for low-power decoding. An example system may include one or more storage circuits and a decoder circuit. The decoder circuit may implement a plurality of nodes for use during decoding, including at least one data generating node and at least one data checking node, and the storage circuits may store status information associated with the nodes, the status information indicating when each corresponding node is locked or unlocked. During decoding operations, the decoder circuit may set the status information to lock one or more of the nodes based on one or more locking conditions, and may cease decoding based on one or more ceasing conditions. The decoder circuit may locks a data generating node when a corresponding calculated value meets a particular condition, and may lock a data checking node when all data generating nodes associated with it are locked.
