Abstract

See full text

A memory device and an associated control method are provided. The memory device includes a non-volatile memory array and a memory control circuit. The non-volatile memory array includes M secured memory zones. The memory control circuit is electrically connected to the non-volatile memory array. The memory control circuit provides a set of mapping information and searches a request key in the set of mapping information. The set of mapping information represents correspondences between N access keys and the M secured memory zones. The memory control circuit acquires at least one of the M secured memory zones if the request key is one of the N access keys, and performs an access command to the at least one of the M secured memory zones. M and N are positive integers.
