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 7):
The decoding method as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein deciding the j th  optimized read voltage in the N\u22121 optimized read voltages of the optimized read voltage set based on the X\u22121 j th  Gray code count summation differences comprises:\n identifying a plurality of target j th  Gray code count summation differences lower than an optimized threshold from the X\u22121 j th  Gray code count summation differences; performing a check operation to the target j th  Gray code count summation differences to identify one or more incorrect j th  Gray code count summation differences from the target j th  Gray code count summation differences and choosing one of remaining one or more correct j th  Gray code count summation differences of the target j th  Gray code count summation differences as an optimized j th  Gray code count summation difference; obtaining the Gray code count summation difference set that the optimized j th  Gray code count summation difference belongs to as a Y th  Gray code count summation difference set of the X\u22121 Gray code count summation difference sets; and obtaining the j th  read voltage in a Y th  read voltage set or the j th  read voltage in a Y+1 th  read voltage set as the j th  optimized read voltage in the N\u22121 optimized read voltages of the optimized read voltage set, wherein Y is a positive integer less than or equal to X\u22121 and is greater than or equal to 1.
