Abstract

Methods for decoding information stored on a memory may include performing a hard read at an initial threshold and determining a first distribution percentage, performing a hard read at a subsequent threshold and determining a second distribution percentage, generating a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) based on the hard reads performed at the initial and subsequent thresholds, and based on the first and second distribution percentages, and soft decoding the information based on the generated LLR.
