Abstract
Provided herein is an error correction decoder and a memory system having the same. The error correction decoder includes a memory configured to store a hard decision value of a variable node. The decoder further includes a flipping function value generator configured to generate, in an i-th iteration, a first value based on a number of unsatisfied check nodes (UCNs) corresponding to the variable node, and to generate a flipping function value as (i) a difference between the first value and an offset value or (ii) a set value, wherein i is a non-negative integer. The decoder also includes a comparator configured to output, in the i-th iteration, a first signal indicating whether to flip or not flip the hard decision value of the variable node in the memory based on comparing the flipping function value to a flipping threshold value.
