Abstract
A decoding method, a memory storage device, and a memory control circuit unit are provided. The decoding method includes: reading a codeword from a memory module and estimating error level information of the codeword; inputting the codeword and the error level information to an error checking and correcting circuit through a first message channel and a second message channel respectively; determining whether the error level information meets a default condition; if yes, inputting the codeword to a first decoding engine of the error checking and correcting circuit for decoding; otherwise, inputting the codeword to a second decoding engine of the error checking and correcting circuit for decoding, wherein a power consumption of the first decoding engine is lower than that of the second decoding engine, and a decoding success rate of the first decoding engine is lower than that of the second decoding engine. Therefore, an operating flexibility for decoding may be improved.
