Abstract

According to one embodiment, a magnetic memory device includes a first interconnect, a second interconnect, a first memory portion, and a controller. The first memory portion is provided between the first and second interconnects. The controller is electrically connected with the first and second interconnects. The first memory portion includes a first magnetic member, a first magnetic element, and a first non-linear element. The first magnetic element is provided between the first magnetic member and the second interconnect in a first current path between the first and second interconnects. The first non-linear element is provided between the first magnetic element and the second interconnect in the first current path. The controller is configured to supply a first shift current in the first current path in a first shift operation. The controller is configured to supply a first reading current in the first current path in a first reading operation.
