There is provided a magnetic memory device including a first
magnetoresistive element which takes a high-resistance-state when
receiving a write current in a first direction, takes a
low-resistance-state having a resistance value lower than that in the
high-resistance-state when receiving a write current in a second
direction opposite to the first direction, and receives a read current in
a read operation, a second magnetoresistive element which takes one of
the high-resistance and low-resistance-states in accordance with a
magnetization state thereof, is fixed to the low-resistance-state when a
direction of the read current is the same as the first direction, and is
fixed to the high-resistance-state when the direction of the read current
is the same as the second direction, and a control circuit which is
connected to the first and second elements, and makes a read voltage
applied to the first element equal to that applied to the second element.
