A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell including a magnetic tunnel junction including a tunnel barrier layer between a first magnetic layer having a first magnetization direction, and a second magnetic layer having a second adjustable magnetization to vary a junction resistance of the magnetic tunnel junction from a first to a second junction resistance level; said magnetic tunnel junction further including a switching resistant element electrically connected to the magnetic tunnel junction and having a switching resistance switchable from a first to a second switching resistance level when a switching current is passed through the switching resistant element, such that a resistance of the MRAM cell can have at least four different cell resistance levels depending of the resistance level of the junction resistance and the switching resistance. The disclosed MRAM cell achieves improved read margin and allows for writing at least four different cell resistance levels.
