Systems and Methods for Reduced Format Non-Binary Decoding

摘要

Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for data processing. As an example, a data processing circuit is disclosed that includes a data detecting circuit having: a first vector translation circuit, a second vector translation circuit, and a data detector core circuit. The data detecting circuit is operable to receive an input data set and at least one input vector in a first format. The at least one input vector corresponds to a portion of the input data set. The first vector translation circuit is operable to translate the at least one vector to a second format. The data detector core circuit is operable to apply a data detection algorithm to the input data set and the at least one vector in the second format to yield a detected output. The second vector translation circuit operable to translate a derivative of the detected output to the first format to yield an output vector.
