Magnetic memory device with write current flowing simultaneously through non-adjacent lines in memory cell array
Abstract:
A magnetic memory device includes: a memory cell array including a plurality of lines arranged parallel to one another at predetermined intervals and extending in one direction, and a plurality of memory cells connected to the plurality of lines and arranged in a matrix along an extending direction of the plurality of lines and along an arrangement direction of the plurality of lines, each of the plurality of memory cells including a magnetoresistance effect element; a selection circuit connected to the plurality of lines and configured to select non-adjacent lines that are not adjacent to one another, from the plurality of lines; and a controller connected to the selection circuit and configured to cause the selection circuit to select the non-adjacent lines and allow a write current to flow through the non-adjacent lines simultaneously in writing data on the memory cell array.
