A system for a fiber-optic network includes a transceiver. The transceiver includes a fiber-optic interface unit and a host unit. The host unit includes a low-complexity error correction decoder and a high-complexity error correction decoder. One or both from the low-complexity error correction decoder and the high-complexity error correction decoder are selected to decode input data from the fiber-optic interface unit, the input data including codewords.

Systems and methods are provided for concatenated error-correcting coding. An apparatus may include a Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) decoder configured to perform an iterative LDPC decoding process on bits of an LDPC codeword, a Bose—Chaudhuri—Hocquenghem (BCH) decoder coupled to the LDPC decoder and a BCH scheduler coupled to the LDPC decoder and the BCH decoder. The LDPC codeword may be generated by LDPC encoding a Bose—Chaudhuri—Hocquenghem (BCH) codeword and the BCH codeword may be generated by BCH encoding a data unit. The BCH scheduler may be configured to determine whether a triggering condition for the BCH decoder is met after each iteration of the iterative LDPC decoding process and activate the BCH decoder to operate on an intermediate decoding result of the LDPC decoder if the triggering condition for the BCH decoder is met.

A method of responding to a read request from a host includes: obtaining read data from a memory device, performing first iteration ECC decoding on the read data to generate a plurality of pieces of decoded data, selecting one of the plurality of pieces of decoded data as intermediate data as intermediate data, generating preprocessed data based on the read data and the intermediate data and performing second iteration ECC decoding on the preprocessed data when the first iteration ECC decoding fails, and outputting the intermediate data to the host when the first iteration ECC decoding succeeds.

A processing device in a memory sub-system reads a sense word from a memory device and executes a plurality of parity check equations on corresponding subsets of the sense word to determine a plurality of parity check equation results. The processing device further determines a syndrome for the sense word using the plurality of parity check equation results and determines whether the syndrome for the sense word satisfies a codeword criterion. Responsive to the syndrome for the sense word not satisfying the codeword criterion, the processing device performs an iterative low density parity check (LDPC) correction process using a scaled bit flip threshold to correct one or more errors in the sense word.

A device includes a non-volatile memory and a low density parity check (LDPC) decoder configured to receive a representation of a codeword from the non-volatile memory. The LDPC decoder includes multiple data processing units (DPUs) and a control circuit coupled to the DPUs. The control circuit is responsive to an error metric associated with the representation of the codeword and is configured to set a message resolution at least partially based on the error metric and to selectively disable one or more components of the LDPC decoder based on the message resolution.
