Paragraph Number

117

In one embodiment, if the repetition code module 406 determines that the ECC chunk is not decodable using the repetition error correcting code, the analog information module 408 may derive analog information from the repeated bits. The secondary ECC module 304 may then use the analog information to inform a soft-decision decoder for the secondary error correcting code, such as the soft decision module 402. Soft-decision decoders are described further below with regard to the soft decision module 402.
