Abstract
The present invention provides a flash memory controller, wherein the flash memory controller is arranged to access a flash memory module, and the flash memory controller includes a ROM, a microprocessor and a time-management circuit. The ROM stores a program code, the microprocessor is configured to execute the program code to control the access of the flash memory module, and the time-management circuit is configured to generate current time information. In the operations of the flash memory controller, when the microprocessor writes data into last pages of a specific block of the flash memory module, the microprocessor writes the time information generated by the time-management circuit into one of the last pages of the specific block.
