Abstract: A memory device includes a magnetoresistive element including first and second magnetic layers and a non-magnetic layer provided between the first and second magnetic layers. The memory device also includes a write circuit which controls a first writing setting magnetization of the first and second magnetic layers in a parallel state and a second writing setting the magnetization of the first and second magnetic layers in an antiparallel state, and applies a write current to the magnetoresistive element. A first write current in the first writing includes a first pulse and a second pulse added to the first pulse. A width of the second pulse is smaller than a width of the first pulse, and a scurrent level of the second pulse is different from a current level of the first pulse.
