Abstract
An apparatus having a circuit and an interface to a nonvolatile memory is disclosed. The circuit is configured to (i) read a plurality of bits in a read channel of the nonvolatile memory. The bits are encoded with a polar code. The circuit is also configured to (ii) generate a plurality of probabilities based on a plurality of log likelihood ratio values of the read channel and (iii) decode the bits based on the probabilities.
