A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell includes a storage layer, a sense layer, and a spacer layer between the storage layer and the sense layer. A field line is magnetically coupled to the MRAM cell to induce a magnetic field along a magnetic field axis, and at least one of the storage layer and the sense layer has a magnetic anisotropy axis that is tilted relative to the magnetic field axis. During a write operation, a storage magnetization direction is switchable between m directions to store data corresponding to one of m logic states, with m>2, where at least one of the m directions is aligned relative to the magnetic anisotropy axis, and at least another one of the m directions is aligned relative to the magnetic field axis. During a read operation, a sense magnetization direction is varied, relative to the storage magnetization direction, to determine the data stored by the storage layer. |
