Abstract
A memory apparatus and an energy-saving control method thereof are provided. The memory apparatus includes a plurality of non-volatile memory units and a control chip, and the control chip includes a specific circuit group, a memory control unit and an energy-saving control unit. The memory control unit controls an access to the non-volatile memory units. In a normal mode and during a period of accessing the non-volatile memory units by the control chip, if the non-volatile memory units are in a busy state, the energy-saving control unit controls the clock generation unit to stop outputting an internal clock signal to the specific circuit group, so as to reduce power consumption of the control chip.
