A flash memory controller includes a specific buffer and a processor. The specific buffer allocates a cache space. The processor receives a specific host address sent from the host device, reads and loads a corresponding address pointer mapping table from the flash memory into the cache space according to address information pointed by a specific address pointer linker, determines a specific address pointer corresponding to the specific host address from the corresponding address pointer mapping table according to the specific host address, reads and loads a corresponding address mapping table from the flash memory into the cache space according to address information pointed by a specific address pointer corresponding to the specific host address, and finds a specific flash memory address from the corresponding address mapping table according to the specific host address to perform an access operation in response to the found specific flash memory address.
