Abstract
A device comprising a data transfer channel is configured to transfer data between multiple memory devices and a host device. The channel includes multiple decoders and a buffer coupled between the multiple memory devices and the multiple decoders. The buffer is configured to store code words received from the memory devices. Channel control logic is configured to determine availability of one or more of the multiple decoders and to distribute the code words to the one or more decoders based on decoder availability.
