Abstract

An error management system for a data storage device can generate soft-decision log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) using multiple reads of memory locations. 0-to-1 and 1-to-0 bit flip count data provided by multiple reads of reference memory locations can be used to generate probability data that is used to generate possible LLR values for decoding target pages. Possible LLR values are stored in one or more look-up tables.
