Abstract

A flash memory control apparatus having a sequential writing procedure and method thereof are described. The flash memory control apparatus includes primary controller, a command module, an address module, a data buffer, a status unit, a counting device and a secondary controller. The primary controller generates a predetermined value which represents the amount of a plurality of pages in the flash memory. The command module stores a writing command during the writing procedure. The address module stores a current address for addressing a current page of the pages based on the current address and the writing command via a control bus. The data buffer stores the data for allowing the command module to write the data to the current page based on the current address via the control bus while the writing command is executed on the flash memory. The status unit determines that the flash memory is either ready or busy in writing the data to the current page of the flash memory. If the command module correctly writes the data to the current page according to the determination result, the address module generates at least one next address. The address module addresses at least one next page of the pages based on the at least one next address and the writing command. The command module sequentially writes the data to the at least one next page during the writing procedure until the pages are written successively.
