ABSTRACT:
A storage system for storing data on a storage medium includes an encoder, a linear block encoder, a write circuit, a read circuit, a channel decoder, and a soft linear block code decoder. In a first iteration, the channel decoder decodes data read by the read circuit. In succeeding iterations, the channel decoder decodes the data read by the read circuit and utilizes information decoded by the soft linear block decoder from an immediately preceding iteration. The storage system includes a threshold check circuit to select (i) an output of the soft linear block code decoder if the number of parity-check violations has a first relationship with respect to a threshold, or (ii) an output of the channel decoder if the number of violations has a second relationship with respect to the threshold. The storage system includes a decoder to decode an output of the threshold check circuit.
