•Max, Max Scale (scale factor is programmable as a multiple of 0.0625), or Max Star
•Number of iterations between 1 and 63
°Specified for each block via streaming control interface
•Early termination
°Specified for each codeword to be none, one, or both of the following:
-No change in hard decision since last iteration
-CRC pass
•Soft or hard outputs
°Specified for each codeword to include systematic and optionally parity 0 and parity 1
°8-bit soft LLR on input and output (8-bit interface, 2 fractional bits, with external saturation before input to symmetric range –31.75 to +31.75)
