Abstract

3D NAND flash is prone to bit errors due to severe charge leakage. Modern SSDs adopt LDPC for bit error management, but LDPC can incur a high read latency through iterative adjustment to the reference voltage. Bit scrambling helps reduce inter-cell interference, and with it, ones and zeros equally contribute to raw data. We observed that as bit errors develop, the 0-bit ratio in raw data deviates from 50%. Inspired by this property, we propose a method for fast adjustment to the reference voltage, involving a placement step and a fine-tuning step. Our method uses only a few hundreds of bytes of RAM but improves the average read latency upon existing methods by up to 24%.
