During a normal read, if a double-bit or multiple-bit error happens, which ECC can detect but cannot fix, the error is corrected by adjusting the read voltage level and reading again to determine the proper read level (and, therefore, the correct value being read). This dynamic read scheme can apply to extrinsic bits from either erase state or program state.

20140143632 | Method to Extend Data Retention for Flash Based Storage in a Real Time Device Processed on Generic Semiconductor Technology - This invention is a method to extend data retention for FLASH based storage in a real time device embodied in generic semiconductor technology. This invention provides a manner to re-energize the Flash memory array to improve the retention characteristics of the memory without altering the clock cycle determinism of the system. Under certain conditions the Flash memory bit cells will lose their charge/non-charge over time. In this particular FLASH technology, an ECC is used to correct single bit errors within a 32 bit word. If there is time before multiple errors occur within a word, the single error cases are identified and “ReFlashed” to bring the value of the cell back to its “newly” programmed levels. This dramatically improves the long term retention characteristics of the memory while requiring some control logic and an area of non-volatile scratch/status information. | 2014-05-22 |
20140143633 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING ERRORS IN DATA ACCESSED FROM A MEMORY DEVICE - An apparatus and method for correcting errors in data accessed from a memory device. A plurality of read symbols are read from a memory device. Syndrome information is then determined from the n data symbols and associated m error correction code symbols. Error correction circuitry uses the syndrome information in order to attempt to locate each read symbol containing an error and to correct the errors in each of those located read symbols. Error tracking circuitry tracks which memory regions the located read symbols containing an error originate from, and, on detecting an error threshold condition, sets at least one memory region as an erasure memory region. The correction circuitry treats each read symbol as a located read symbol containing an error, such that the read symbols to be located are not all randomly distributed and more than PMAX read symbols containing errors can be corrected. | 2014-05-22 |
20140143634 | NON-REGULAR PARITY DISTRIBUTION DETECTION VIA METADATA TAG - This can relate to non-regular parity distribution of a non-volatile memory (“NVM”), such as flash memory, and detection of the non-regular parity via a metadata tag. For example, each codeword of the NVM can include one or more parity pages that may be distributed at random through the NVM. To identify the page as a parity page, a parity page marker can be included in the metadata of that page. During power-up of the NVM, an address table including the logical-to-physical address mapping of the pages can be created. Pages including a parity page marker, however, can be skipped during the creation of this address table. Additionally, by having two or more parity pages associated with a codeword, an additional layer of protection can be provided for repairing errors in that codeword. | 2014-05-22 |
20140143635 | TECHNIQUES FOR STORING ECC CHECKBITS IN A LEVEL TWO CACHE - A partition unit that includes a cache for storing both data and error-correcting code (ECC) checkbits associated with the data is disclosed. When a read command corresponding to particular data stored in a memory unit results in a cache miss, the partition unit transmits a read request to the memory unit to fetch the data and store the data in the cache. The partition unit checks the cache to determine if ECC checkbits associated with the data are stored in the cache and, if the ECC checkbits are not in the cache, the partition unit transmits a read request to the memory unit to fetch the ECC checkbits and store the ECC checkbits in the cache. The ECC checkbits and the data may then be compared to determine the reliability of the data using an error-correcting scheme such as SEC-DED (i.e., single error-correcting, double error-detecting). | 2014-05-22 |

The controller stores data in the form of page stripes, each page stripe composed of data pages, and each data page stored in a different non-volatile memory device. The controller also detects failure of a non-volatile memory device in which a data page of a particular page stripe is stored, reconstructs the data page, and stores the reconstructed data page in a new page stripe, where the number of data pages in the new page stripe is less than the number of data pages in the particular page stripe, and where no page of the new page stripe is stored in a memory location within the failed non-volatile memory device. | 2014-05-22 |

The shortened codeword includes a plurality of non-shortened bits of a full codeword, where the full codeword includes the plurality of non-shortened bits and one or more shortened bits. Shortened bits correspond to bits unused in the shortened codeword. The media controller converts the determined values for each bit of the shortened codeword into a first set of log-likelihood ratio (LLR) values. The full codeword is decoded using the first set of LLR values for the shortened codeword. The media controller dampens one or more LLR values corresponding to non-shortened bits of the codeword to produce a second set of LLR values and decodes the second set of LLR values. | 2014-05-22 |
