Abstract
The present invention provides a control method for a flash memory controller and an associated device, wherein the flash memory controller is coupled between a host device and a flash memory module. By setting a first bandwidth for communicating with the host device and determining a reference data rate according to configuration information of the flash memory module, the controller can determine whether the first bandwidth far exceeds a required bandwidth. If so, the bandwidth is dynamically reduced to a lower second bandwidth, thereby avoiding unnecessary power consumption.
