Abstract:
A decoding method is provided. The method includes selecting a target word line among a plurality of word lines; respectively reading a plurality of target memory cells of the target word-line by using different X read voltage sets to obtain corresponding X Gray code summation sets; calculating a Gray code count summation difference of the Gray code count summations at the same sequence position respectively in N−1 Gray code count summations between every pair of adjacent Gray code summation sets of the X Gray code summation sets, so as to obtain X−1 Gray code count summation difference sets corresponding to all pairs of the Gray code summation sets; and deciding N−1 optimized read voltages from X*(N−1) read voltages belonging to the X read voltage sets according to the X−1 Gray code count summation difference sets.

Claim (Index 15):
The storage controller as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein:\n the read voltage management circuit unit further performs a quick read voltage screening operation after the operation of choosing the target word line of the word lines to determine the X read voltage sets, wherein the quick read voltage screening operation comprises:\n reading the target memory cells by using Z read voltage sets to obtain Z Gray code count sets respectively corresponding to the Z read voltage sets, wherein a voltage difference between every pair of adjacent read voltage sets of the Z read voltage sets is a second predetermined voltage difference, a value of Z is less than the second predetermined positive integer, and the second predetermined voltage difference is greater than the first predetermined voltage difference; \n obtaining one of the Z read voltage sets as an initial reference read voltage set based on at least one of a first Gray code count and a last Gray code count of each of the Z Gray code count sets and a Gray code count predetermined value; and \n determining the X read voltage sets based on the initial reference read voltage sets, a first Gray code count deviation, the second predetermined positive integer, and the first predetermined voltage difference.
