ABSTRACT:
According to the semiconductor memory device of this invention, an XP type MRAM cell array and an STr type MRAM cell array are formed on a single chip. The XP type MRAM cell array is laid over the STr type MRAM cell array to form a layered structure. The STr type MRAM cell array serves as a work memory area, while the XP type MRAM cell array serves as a data storage area. A cell of the XP type MRAM cell array and a cell of the STr type MRAM cell array may be connected to a same bit-line. By passing predetermined current through the bit-line, and passing current through a first word-line connected to the cell of the XP type MRAM cell array, and through a second word-line connected to the cell of the STr type MRAM cell array, it is possible to simultaneously write data into the cells of the XP and STr type MRAM cell arrays.
