<p>A magnetic random access memory having a memory cell array in which one block is formed from a plurality of magnetoresistive elements using a magnetoresistive effect, and a plurality of blocks are arranged in row and column directions, includes a plurality of first magnetoresistive elements (MTJ1, MTJ2, MTJ3, MTJ4) arranged in a first block (BK11), a plurality of first word lines (WL1, WL2, WL3, WL4) each of which is independently connected to one terminal of a corresponding one of the first magnetoresistive elements (MTJ1, MTJ2, MTJ3, MTJ4) and runs in the row direction, a first read sub bit line (RBL1', BL-t1') commonly connected to the other terminal of each of the first magnetoresistive elements (MTJ1, MTJ2, MTJ3, MTJ4), a first block select switch (RSW, BSW1) whose first current path has one end connected to one end of the first read sub bit line (RBL1', BL-t1'), and a first read main bit line (RBL1, BL-t1) which is connected to the other end of the first current path and runs in the column direction. <IMAGE></p> |
