Abstract:
1. A magnetic memory device comprising: first to n-th MTJ devices recording data; first to n-th transistors connected to the first to n-th MTJ devices, respectively; a write word line which generates a magnetic field to be applied to the first to n-th MTJ devices during a write operation; a read word line which is connected to a gate of each of the first to n-th transistors and which applies a voltage for turning on the first to n-th transistors during a read operation; a first word line driver which is connected to a first end or a second end of the write word line and which drives the write word line; a second word line driver which is connected to a first end of the read word line and which drives the read word line; and the first switching circuit which selectively connects a second end of the read word line and the second end of the write word line.
