Abstract

The present inventions are related to systems and methods for accessing data from a flash memory, and more particularly to systems and methods for inter-cell interference handling in a flash memory. The systems and methods may include a soft information correction circuit that is operable to receive soft information corresponding to information accessed from a block of memory cells, and modify the soft information based upon a variance of the soft information and a median of the soft information to create corrected soft information, the corrected soft information being used to mitigate inter-cell interference in the block of memory cells.
