Abstract
Memory controllers bit-flipping (BF) decoders and methods that selectively apply a checksum-aided error reduction (CA-ER) scheme to BF decoding of a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code. In decoding a codeword, a hard decision value resulting from decoding a select variable node is changed when a first condition is satisfied to yield an updated hard decision value. Also, when the first condition is satisfied, a current checksum value after processing the select variable node is updated using the updated hard decision value. The CA-ER scheme is applied when the updated checksum value is not reduced to a set minimum and a second condition based on a previous checksum value, calculated after a previous variable node is processed, is satisfied.
