Abstract
A microcontroller and a memory control method for the microcontroller are provided. The microcontroller includes a memory array, multiple memory controllers, and multiple counting controllers. The memory array includes multiple memory segments. The counting controllers count based on a memory clock to generate count values, respectively. When a count value reaches a preset value, a counting controller corresponding to the count value controls a corresponding memory controller to enter a power saving mode. When receiving an operation command, the counting controller resets the count value and controls the corresponding memory controller to enter an operation mode.
