Abstract

The present application discloses a memory control method, a controller, a chip and an electronic device, and relates to the field of control technology. A specific implementation solution is: obtaining first address information of an access to the memory performed by the processor within a first time window; determining, according to the first address information and an address jump relationship, a target slice of the memory that is to be accessed by the processor within a second time window; and controlling the target slice in the memory to be turned on and controlling a slice other than the target slice in the memory to be turned off within the second time window. Through the above-mentioned process, each slice is dynamically turned on and off according to the actual situation of memory access, thereby reducing the power consumption of the memory to the maximum extent.
