Abstract
A decoding circuit includes a mixed modulation memory access circuit responsive to burst rejection information. The mixed modulation memory access circuit selectively accesses burst memory locations containing a valid burst of coded bits. The mixed modulation memory access circuit selectively avoids accessing burst memory locations containing a rejected burst of coded bits based on the burst rejection information. In one example, the mixed modulation memory access circuit accesses the valid burst when the burst rejection information indicates that the memory location contains valid bursts. In one example, the mixed modulation memory access circuit generates zero confidence information when the burst rejection information indicates that the memory location contains rejected bursts.
