Abstract
A data storage device includes an error correction code (ECC) system and a decoder gear determination system. The decoder gear determination system dynamically enhances error correction capabilities of a decoder of the ECC system should the decoder fail to decode a codeword. The decoder gear determination system enhances the error correction capabilities of the decoder prior to initiating a gear switch, in which another decoder, with higher error correction capabilities, is used to decode the codeword. The decoder gear determination system enhances the error correction capabilities of the decoder by deriving information about the failed decoding attempt. The derived information is used to generate an updated decoding parameter that is provided to the decoder. The decoder attempts a subsequent decoding process on the codeword using the updated decoding parameter.
