These codes are constructed from inner binary Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) and outer Reed-Solomon codes. The decoding of the component codes is based on hard decision syndrome decoding algorithms. The concatenated code consists of several small BCH codes. This enables a hardware architecture where the decoding of the component codes is pipelined. A hardware implementation of a GC decoder is presented and the cell area, cycle counts as well as the timing constraints are investigated. The results are compared to a decoder for long BCH codes with similar error correction performance. In comparison, the pipelined GC decoder achieves a higher throughput and has lower area consumption.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FreudenbergerBeckRajab, author = {Freudenberger, J{\"u}rgen and Beck, Alexander and Rajab, Mohammed}, title = {A data compression scheme for reliable data storage in non-volatile memories}, series = {IEEE 5th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin, (ICCE-Berlin), 6-9 Sept. 2015}, isbn = {978-1-4799-8748-1}, doi = {10.1109/ICCE-Berlin.2015.7391216}, pages = {139 -- 142}, abstract = {This contribution presents a data compression scheme for applications in non-volatile flash memories.
