Abstract
Memory controllers, decoders and methods execute a hybrid decoding scheme. An initial iteration of decoding of a codeword is performed using a bit-flipping (BF) decoder or a min-sum (MS) decoder depending on whether or not an unsatisfied check (USC) count of the codeword is less than a threshold. For this initial iteration, the BF decoder is used when the USC count is less than the threshold, and MS decoder when the USC count is greater than or equal to the threshold. When decoding of the codeword is initially performed with the BF decoder, decoding continues with the BF decoder until a first set of conditions is satisfied or the codeword is successfully decoded. When decoding of the codeword is performed with the MS decoder, decoding continues with the MS decoder until a second set of conditions is satisfied.
