Abstract:
A method for performing access management in a memory device, the associated memory device and the controller thereof, and the associated electronic device are provided. The method may include: receiving a host command and a logical address from a host device; performing a checking operation to obtain a checking result, for determining whether to load a logical-to-physical (L2P) table from the NV memory to a random access memory (RAM) of the memory device; reading the target data and associated metadata from the NV memory, wherein a latest version of the L2P table is available in the RAM when reading the target data from the NV memory is performed; and checking whether a recorded logical address within the metadata and the logical address received from the host device are equivalent to each other, to control whether to send the target data to the host device.

Claim (Index 12):
A memory device, comprising:\n a non-volatile (NV) memory, arranged to store information, wherein the NV memory comprises at least one NV memory element; and a controller, coupled to the NV memory, arranged to control operations of the memory device, wherein the controller comprises:\n a processing circuit, arranged to control the controller according to a plurality of host commands from a host device, to allow the host device to access the NV memory through the controller, wherein: \n the controller receives a host command and a logical address from the host device, wherein the host command is a read command, and a combination of the host command and the logical address is directed to a request of accessing target data corresponding to the logical address from the NV memory; \n with regard to the request of accessing the target data corresponding to the logical address from the NV memory, the controller performs a checking operation to obtain a checking result, for determining whether to load a logical-to-physical (L2P) table from the NV memory to a random access memory (RAM) of the memory device, wherein the L2P table comprises address mapping information for accessing the target data; \n the controller reads the target data and associated metadata from the NV memory, wherein a latest version of the L2P table is available in the RAM when reading the target data from the NV memory is performed; and \n the controller checks whether a recorded logical address within the metadata and the logical address received from the host device are equivalent to each other, to control whether to send the target data to the host device.
