    摘要: A logic gate has a magnetoresistive element, a magnetization state control unit and an output unit. The magnetoresistive element has a laminated structure having N (N is an integer not smaller than 3) magnetic layers and N−1 nonmagnetic layers that are alternately laminated. A resistance value of the magnetoresistive element varies depending on magnetization states of the N magnetic layers. The magnetization state control unit sets the respective magnetization states of the N magnetic layers depending on N input data. The output unit outputs output data that varies depending on the resistance value of the magnetoresistive element.

The first memory array includes a plurality of first memory cells including magnetoresistive elements. The second memory array includes a plurality of second memory cells including magnetoresistive elements and differs from the first memory array in write wirings used for writing. The controller controls the first memory array and the second memory array such that a first state in which a first burst write operation in the first memory array is executed and a second state in which a second burst write operation in the second memory array is executed are alternately executed in a continuous burst write mode. Accordingly, the continuous burst write operation can be executed at the high speed without any drop in the reliability and any increase in the circuit area.
