METHOD OF DETECTING AND CORRECTING ERRORS WITH BCH AND LDPC ENGINES FOR FLASH STORAGE SYSTEMS
A method of detecting and correcting errors with BCH and LDPC engines for flash storage systems is provided and the steps of the method comprise: deciding the number i of sub-channels CH1˜CHi divided from the data channel depending on requirement; deriving the width selection of each sub-channel CHi; checking if the sum of width of each sub-channel CHi is equal to the length of the original channel 20 or not; if yes, run next step; if not, go back to the previous step and try again; and connecting each sub-channel CHi to a corresponding one of n BCH engines BCHn or a corresponding one of m LDPC engines Lm with a bus by one-by-one mapping, wherein i=n+m.
1 . A method of detecting and correcting errors with BCH and LDPC engines for flash storage systems, the steps comprising:
step S 1 : deciding the number i of sub-channels CH1˜CHi divided from a data channel;
step S 2 : deriving a width selection of each sub-channel CHi;
step S 3 : checking if the sum of width of each sub-channel CHi is equal to the data channel or not; if yes, run next step; if not, go back to the step S 2 ; and
step S 4 : connecting each sub-channel CHi to a corresponding one of n BCH engines BCHn or a corresponding one of m LDPC engines L1˜Lm with a bus by one-by-one mapping, wherein i=n+m.
2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the widths of each sub-channel CH1˜CHi are identical.
3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the widths of each sub-channel CH1˜CHi are not identical.
4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the m is equal to or larger than one, and n is larger than m.
5 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the widths of the sub-channel CHi and the corresponding one of n BCH engines BCH1˜BCHn or the corresponding one of m LDPC engines L1˜Lm are the same.
6 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the n BCH engines BCH1˜BCHn and the m LDPC engines L1˜Lm are alternatively random or predetermined arranged.
