Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for decoding hard data from a memory device. For example, a controller performs a read operation to receive hard data from the memory device. The controller converts the hard data into soft information. The controller can decode using a first decoder for a first number of decoding iterations based on the soft information. An error vector indicating which bits of the hard data have been flipped by the first decoder can be generated by the controller based on a current state of a codeword for a respective decoding iteration of the first number of decoding iterations. The controller can decode using a second decoder to correct errors in the hard data for a second number of decoding iterations based on the error vector and the original hard data. The controller can provide corrected data in response to correcting the errors in the hard data.
