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 25):
The storage controller as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein values of j include 1 to N\u22121 based on the second predetermined order, and in the operation of respectively reading the target memory cells by using the different X read voltage sets to obtain the corresponding X Gray code summation sets:\n the read voltage management circuit unit chooses an i th  read voltage set of the X read voltage sets, wherein values of i include 1 to X based on the first predetermined order, wherein the read voltage management circuit unit respectively reads the target memory cells by using N\u22121 read voltages of the i th  read voltage set to obtain a plurality of read bit values corresponding to the i th  read voltage set and classified into the Gray codes, wherein the read voltage management circuit sums up the numbers of the read bit values classified into the respective Gray codes as N Gray code counts corresponding to the i th  read voltage set based on the obtained read bit values corresponding to the i th  read voltage set and the Gray codes which the read bit values belong to, wherein the Gray code counts are arranged based on a third predetermined order, and wherein the read voltage management circuit unit calculates N\u22121 Gray code count summations based on the N Gray code counts corresponding to the i th  read voltage set and a fourth predetermined order, and obtains the N\u22121 Gray code count summations as an i th  Gray code summation set corresponding to the i th  read voltage set in the X Gray code summation sets, wherein a value of a j th  Gray code count summation in the N\u22121 Gray code count summations is a summation of last N\u2212j Gray code counts and the fourth predetermined order is reverse of the second predetermined order.
