Abstract
The invention provides a flash memory controller. In one embodiment, the flash memory controller is coupled to a plurality of flash memories, and comprises a driving current generator and a processor. The driving current generator generates a driving current to drive the flash memories. The processor calculates the total number of flash memories, determines a driving current value according to the total number of flash memories, and directs the driving current generator to generate the driving current with a level greater than or equal to the driving current value. The driving current value is determined by the processor to be increased with an increase of the total number of flash memories.
