Abstract
A system for an Error Correction Code ('ECC') decoder includes a first decoder and a second decoder. The first decoder is configured to determine a first estimated number of errors in encoded data received at the first decoder and to compare the first estimated number of errors to a first threshold and a second threshold. The second decoder is configured to receive the encoded data when the first estimated number of errors is below the first threshold and is above a second threshold. When the first estimated number of errors is above the first threshold, the first decoder passes the encoded data out of the ECC. The first decoder has a lower power consumption than the second decoder.
