Bit flipping low-density parity-check decoders with low error floor

A memory device having a Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) decoder that is energy efficient and has a low error floor. The decoder is configured to determine syndromes of bits in a codeword, select bits in the codeword based at least in part on the syndromes according to a first mode, and flip the selected bits in the codeword. The decoder can repeat the bit selection and flipping operations to iteratively improve the codeword and reduce parity violations. Further, the decoder can detect a pattern in parity violations of the codeword in its iterative bit flipping operations. In response, the decoder can change from the first mode to a second mode in bit selection for flipping. For example, the decoder can transmit from a dynamic syndrome mode to a static syndrome mode in response to the pattern of repeating a cycle of bit flipping iterations.

The second decoder may be more powerful than the first decoder.

Optimizing recovery of recurrent blocks using bloom filter

A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller is configured to decode data from the memory device, store a decoder level for the decoded data in a bloom filter, receive a read command for the data, and decode the data using a decoder associated with the stored decoder level. The decoder level corresponds to a decoder having a certain decoding strength. The decoder level is stored in the bloom filter as an ID, where a bloom filter may be associated with each decoder level.

Adjustable read retry order based on decoding success trend

Methods, systems, and media for decoding data are described. A sequence of read-level voltages for decoding operations may be determined based on a trend of decoding success indicators, including a first decoding success indicator and a second decoding success indicator. The first decoding success indicator is obtained from a more recent successful decoding operation. The first one of the sequence may be set to a read-level voltage of the first decoding success indicator. If the read-level voltage of the first decoding success indicator is less than a read-level voltage of the second decoding success indicator, then the trend is decreasing, and the second one of the sequence may be set to a read-level voltage less than that of the first one of the sequence. After executing one or more decoding operations, the decoding success indicators may be updated based on the read-level voltage of the current successful decoding operation.
