PERFORMING A DECODING OPERATION TO SIMULATE SWITCHING A BIT OF AN IDENTIFIED SET OF BITS OF A DATA BLOCK

Abstract:

A set of bits of a segment of a memory device that is associated with an unsuccessful first decoding operation can be identified. A discrepancy value for at least one bit of the set of bits can be calculated. It can be determined whether the discrepancy value calculated for the at least one bit of the set of bits corresponds to a correction capability of the failed decoding operation. In response to determining that the discrepancy value calculated for the at least one bit corresponds to the correction capability of the failed decoding operation, the at least one bit of the set of bits can be corrected by switching a value of the at least one bit.
