Abstract
A method for decoding data includes determining, by an error-handling module of a controller, that a hard read of a first codeword hard read from a first wordline has errors responsive to a first-level low density parity check (LDPC) decoder failing to correct the errors of the first codeword. The controller executes a hard read of a second wordline to provide a hard read of an extra parity portion for the first codeword. The error-handling module forms a second codeword based on the hard read of the first codeword and the hard read of the extra parity portion. The error-handling module inputs the second codeword into a second-level LDPC decoder. The second-level LDPC decoder attempts to decode the second codeword in response to the inputting. The error-handling module stores a corrected codeword based on the second codeword in response to determining that the second codeword has no errors.
