Abstract
An error correction code (ECC) system of a data storage device utilizes a joint decoding scheme to correct errors in a codeword when the codeword has failed a decoding process using a first decoding scheme. The ECC system uses information derived from the second decoding scheme to generate soft bit information, or reliability information, associated with a portion of the failed codeword. The soft bit information derived from the second decoding scheme is provided to the first decoding scheme when the first decoding scheme attempts to correct or decode the failed codeword.
