Abstract
A failbit counting method includes controlling a counter of a verify failbit count (VFC) circuit to count fail bits in a bit group including one or more verification bits, received at an input of the counter, to obtain a count result in unary format. Each of the one or more verification bits is a fail bit or a pass bit. The count result in unary format is stored in the counter. The method further includes controlling the counter to transcode the count result stored in the counter from unary format to binary format.
