Abstract

An iterative error correction coding (ECC) decoder is configured to operate in a first higher-power and higher-performance operating mode. At least some part of a system that includes the iterative ECC decoder is monitored. It is determining whether to switch the iterative ECC decoder from the first higher-power and higher-performance operating mode to a second lower-power and lower-performance operating mode based at least in part on the monitoring. The iterative ECC decoder is configured to operate in the second lower-power and lower-performance operating mode in the event it is determined to switch operating modes.
