Abstract
A method for performing mapping table management of a memory device in a predetermined communications architecture with aid of table analysis and associated apparatus are provided. The method may include: utilizing the memory controller to receive a first command from a host device through a transmission interface circuit of the memory controller; and in response to the first command, loading a local logical-to-physical (L2P) address mapping table from a non-volatile (NV) memory into a volatile memory within the memory controller to be a temporary L2P address mapping table, changing multiple L2P table entries in the temporary L2P address mapping table to be multiple updated L2P table entries in a group-by-group manner, rather than an entry-by-entry manner, and updating the local L2P address mapping table in the NV memory according to the multiple updated L2P table entries of the temporary L2P address mapping table.
