20090276687 | METHOD OF ENCODING AND DECODING MULTI-BIT LEVEL DATA - A method of encoding multi-bit level data includes: determining a range of an error pattern generated according to a transmission symbol, encoding an M-bit level of a P-bit level corresponding to the transmission symbol based on the range of the error pattern, and excluding encoding of a P-M bit level of the P-bit level. The variable P is a natural number of a value at least two, and the variable M is a natural number less than P. | 11-05-2009 |
20110032759 | MEMORY SYSTEM AND RELATED METHOD OF PROGRAMMING - A method of programming a nonvolatile memory device comprises counting a number of state pairs in a unit of input data, modulating the unit of input data to reduce the number of state pairs contained therein, and programming the modulated unit of input data in the nonvolatile memory device. Each state pair comprises data with a first state and designated for programming in a memory cell connected to a first word line, and data with a second state and designated for programming in a memory cell connected to a second word line adjacent to the first word line. The memory cell connected to the first word line is adjacent to the memory cell connected to the second word line. | 02-10-2011 |
20110093765 | FLASH MEMORY DEVICE AND RELATED PROGRAMMING METHOD - A nonvolatile memory device comprises a memory cell array configured to store one or more bits per memory cell, a read and write circuit configured to access the memory cell array, a control logic component configured to control the read and write circuit to sequentially execute read operations of a selected memory cell at least twice to output a read data symbol, and an error correcting unit configured to correct an error in the read data symbol based on a pattern of the read data symbol to output an error-corrected symbol. | 04-21-2011 |
20110125975 | INTERLEAVING APPARATUSES AND MEMORY CONTROLLERS HAVING THE SAME - An interleaving apparatus may include a first buffer unit configured to buffer input data in units having a size of a sector to generate sector unit data, an encoding unit configured to encode the sector unit data and generate a plurality of parity codes based on the encoding, a second buffer unit configured to interleave the sector unit data and the parity codes and generate interleaving data based on the interleaving, the second buffer unit including a plurality of output buffers configured to store the interleaving data, and an output unit configured to output the interleaving data. | 05-26-2011 |
20110185267 | ENCODING DEVICE, CONTROLLER AND SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME - An encoding device includes an encoder and a puncturing unit. The encoder generates parity bits based on information bits. The puncturing unit punctures the parity bits based on a puncturing pattern complying with a first criterion determining a period of the puncturing pattern and a second criterion determining positions of remaining parity bits. | 07-28-2011 |
20110208897 | METHOD AND MEMORY SYSTEM USING A PRIORI PROBABILITY INFORMATION TO READ STORED DATA - A memory system comprises a non-volatile memory device that stores user data and state information regarding the user data. In a read operation of the non-volatile memory device, a memory controller calculates a priori probabilities for the user data based on the state information, calculates a posteriori probabilities based on the a priori probabilities, and performs a soft-decision operation to determine values of the user data based on the a posteriori probabilities. | 08-25-2011 |
20120221775 | NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE AND READ METHOD THEREOF - An apparatus and a method for reading from a non-volatile memory whereby soft decision data is used to determine the reliability of hard decision data. The hard decision data read from the non-volatile memory is de-randomized and the soft decision data read from the non-volatile memory is not de-randomized. Using the soft decision data, the hard decision data is decoded. | 08-30-2012 |
20130007081 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING DATA - A data processing which includes a conversion circuit and a pseudo random number generator including a series connection of plural shift registers. The conversion circuit receives a pseudo random number sequence from an output of one of the plural shift registers excluding a last shift register of the series connection, and converts first data to second data using the received pseudo random number sequence. | 01-03-2013 |
