Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for error correction with multiple log likelihood ratio (LLR) lookup tables (LUTs) for a single read, which allows for adaptation to asymmetry in the number of 0 or 1 bit errors without re-read operations. In certain embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a circuit configured to receive a sequence of bit value estimates for data read from a solid state memory during a single read operation, generate a first sequence of LLR values by applying the sequence of bit value estimates to a first LUT, and perform a decoding operation on the first sequence of LLR values. When the first sequence of LLR values fails to decode, the circuit may be configured to generate a second sequence of LLR values by applying the bit value estimates to a second LUT, and perform the decoding operation on the second sequence of LLR values to generate decoded data.
