Abstract
The present inventions are related to systems and methods for accessing data from a flash memory, and more particularly to systems and methods for inter-cell interference handling in a flash memory. The systems and methods include receiving soft information corresponding to a series of voltage levels accessed from a block of flash memory cells, calculating corrected soft information based upon the received soft information and a variance of the soft information, and applying a data decoding algorithm to the corrected soft information to yield a data output.
