A determining device includes: a memory element that includes laminated magnetoresistive elements; reference elements, each having a different resistance value; a select circuit that selects a reference element from the reference elements; an apply circuit that applies a higher read voltage selected from different read voltages to the reference element selected by the select circuit and the memory element, as the resistance value of the reference element selected from the reference elements is higher; a compare circuit that compares an amount of electric current flowing through the selected reference element to which the read voltage is applied by the apply circuit and an amount of electric current flowing through the memory element to which the read voltage is applied by the apply circuit; and a determination circuit that determines data stored in the memory element, based on a result of comparison by the compare circuit. |
