Claim:
A control method for a memory comprising storage units, each storing a plurality of bits, wherein in a read mode, the control method comprises: providing a read command to the memory; obtaining and recording the values of a plurality of most significant bits (MSB) of all of the storage units corresponding to the read command from the memory, wherein a number of the storage units is greater than one; outputting the values of the plurality of most significant bits of all of the storage units corresponding to the read command to a bus; obtaining and recording the values of neighboring bits of all of the storage units corresponding to the read command from the memory, wherein each neighboring bit neighbors one corresponding most significant bit; and outputting the values of the neighboring bits of all of the storage units corresponding to the read command to the bus after outputting the values of the plurality of most significant bits of all of the storage units corresponding to the read command to the bus.
