ABSTRACT:
A magnetic random access memory of an aspect of the present invention including a magnetoresistive effect element having a fixed layer whose magnetization direction is fixed, a recording layer whose magnetization direction is reversible, and a non-magnetic layer provided between the fixed and recording layers, wherein the magnetization directions of the fixed and recording layers are in a parallel state or in an anti-parallel state depending on a direction of a current flowing between the fixed and recording layers, a first transistor having a gate and a first current path having one end connected to the fixed layer, a second transistor having a gate and a second current path having one end connected to the recording layer, a first bit line to which other end of the first current path is connected, and a second bit line to which other end of the second current path is connected.
