When the 5G NR standard is supported the status data interface is 40 bits with the fields shown in the following tables for LDPC decode.

Table 1. 5G NR Status Interface Definition for LDPC Decode
Field Bits Range Description
  39:38 - Reserved
mb 37:32 4 to 46 Number of parity bits as a multiple of Z (Z*mb), thereby controlling code rate.
id 31:24 0 to 255 External block identifier supplied through control input
dec_iter 23:18 1 to 63 Number of iterations taken to decode output (either successfully or unsuccessfully)
term_no_change 17 0 to 1

0: Did not terminate early due to no change in hard bits for the whole block (information and parity) between iterations.

1: Terminated early as no change in hard bits for the whole block (information and parity) between iterations.

term_pass 16 0 to 1

0: Did not terminate due to passing parity check

1: Terminated early due to passing parity check

pass 15 0 to 1

0: Parity check did not pass

1: Parity check passed

hard_op 14 0 to 1

0: Soft output

1: Hard output

op 13 0 Decode operation (fixed value)
  12:9 - Reserved
bg 8:6 0 to 4 Base graph
z_set 5:3 0 to 7 Base graph cyclic shift set
z_j 2:0 0 to 7 Lifting factor (Z) j component 1
  1. The lifting factor is given by Z=a*2z_j where a is defined in Lifting Factor Component (a).
