Apparatus and method for adjusting a correctable raw bit error rate limit in a memory system using strong log-likelihood (LLR) values

Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for correcting errors in data read from memory cells of an integrated circuit device includes an encoder. The encoder is configured from a single parity check matrix and the encoder is configured to be virtually adjustable by setting a number of bits in the encoder to zero. A decoder is configured from the single parity check matrix and the decoder is configured to be virtually adjustable by setting a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) for a number of bits in the decoder to a strong value. A code-rate that the encoder and decoder uses can be changed by adjusting the number of bits in the encoder that are set to zero and the number of bits in the decoder that are set to the strong LLR value.
