Abstract

A method for decoding data in a memory device includes attempting to decode, using a first decoder, initial bits based on original data read from memory, determining that the first decoding was not successful, and, in response to determining that the first decoding was not successful, attempting to decode, using a second decoder, the initial bits based on the original data and information derived during the first decoding. The first decoder may be a hard decoder, and the second decoder may be a soft decoder. The information derived during the first decoding may include soft information corresponding to each of the initial bits. The soft information may include LLR values corresponding to each of the initial bits. Alternatively, the information derived during the first decoding may include a syndrome weight, and the soft information may be based on the syndrome weight.
