BCH decoder for configuring error correcting capability according to Nand Flash extra space

Abstract

A BCH decoder which configures error correcting capability according to the spare space of Nand Flash comprises the following components: an error correcting capability indicating module which is used for collocating the error correcting bit number of decoder according to the spare space of Nand Flash; an odd syndrome calculating module which adopts an iterative method for parallel calculating the syndrome of corresponding odd number according to the configured error correcting bit number and the input code word; an even syndrome calculating module which is used for serially calculating the syndrome of oven number according to the calculated syndrome of odd number; a Newton's identity solving module which is used for iteratively solving each coefficient and error code word number of error position equation with the non-inverse simplified BMA algorithm according to the calculated syndrome of odd number and even number; and a chien searching module which is used for searching out the position of error bit according to each solved coefficient and the number of error code for further realizing decoding. The BCH decoder of the invention has the advantages of small decoding delay, excellent compatibility and high multiplexing rate of hardware.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a BCH decoder, in particular to a BCH decoder configured with error correction capability according to the redundant space of Nand Flash. Background technique [0002] GF(2 m ) is a Galois field, which is an extension field of the GF(2) field, which is generated by a primitive polynomial p(x) of degree m with coefficients on the GF(2) field, and has a primitive element in the field α, which is the root of the primitive polynomial. GF(2 m ) domains have the following basic properties: [0003] 1. There are 2 in the domain m elements, except for the 0 element, the other elements are all powers of α. [0004] 2. The sum of two elements in the field is still an element in the field, and is equal to the XOR of the components represented by the two element vectors. [0005] 3. Set β 1 = α i and beta 2 = α j are two elements in the field respectively, then β 1 ×β 2 is still an element in the field whose value is α (i+j)％n...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the advancement of technology and the reduction of line width, the storage density of Nand Flash is getting higher and higher, and the error probability is also increasing. Therefore, the redundant space in the new generation of Nand Flash has been increased to 218 bytes/4K bytes, which is also This enables the Nand Flash controller to use the BCH code that corrects more bit errors to reduce the...
