A magnetic memory device and a sense amplifier circuit capable of
obtaining a read signal output with a high S/N ratio and reducing power
consumption and a circuit space, and a method of reading from a magnetic
memory device are provided. In a sense amplifier, transistors (41A),
(41B) which are differential amplifiers are commonly connected to one
constant current circuit (50) through switches (46) ( . . . , 46n, 46n+1,
. . . ). Corresponding bit decode lines (20) ( . . . , 20n, 20n+1, . . .
) and a read selection signal line (90) are connected to the switches
(46) ( . . . , 46n, 46n+1, . . . ). A read/write signal is transferred
from the read selection signal line (90), and the switches (46) operate
according to a bit decode value and the read/write signal.
