A MRAM includes: first wirings, second wirings, memory cells, a second sense amplifier and a first sense amplifier. The first wirings and second wirings are extended in a first and a second direction. The memory cells are placed correspondingly to positions where the first wirings are crossed with the second wirings. The second sense amplifier detects a state of a reference cell on the basis of an output from the reference cell provided by corresponding to a reference wiring. The first sense amplifier ( 2 ) detects a state of the memory cell on the basis of an output from the reference cell and an output from the memory cell. The memory cell includes a magnetic tunneling junction element having a laminated free layer. The magnetic tunneling junction element has a magnetization easy axis direction which is different from the first and second directions.
