Abstract
Methods and systems are presented in this disclosure for implementing forward error correction in cloud and data center storage devices based on low-density parity-check (LDPC) channel coding. A forward error correction circuit presented herein includes a first LDPC decoder configured to perform hard-decision LDPC decoding of data read from a storage medium through a first read channel. The forward error correction circuit further includes a hybrid LDPC decoder selectively configurable to perform a selected one of hard-decision LDPC decoding and soft-decision LDPC decoding of data read from the storage medium through a second read channel, wherein, responsive to a control signal generated based, at least in part, on one or more parameters indicative of condition of the storage medium, the hybrid LDPC decoder is switchable between hard-decision LDPC decoding and soft-decision LDPC decoding.
