Abstract
The invention provides a magnetic memory device wherein an imbalance between variation threshold values for different magnetization directions of storage elements thereof such as a displacement of the center of an asteroid curve from the origin can be corrected readily without modifying the storage elements themselves. The magnetic memory device includes a plurality of storage elements of the magnetoresistive type capable of storing information making use of a variation of the magnetization direction thereof, and a magnetic field application element for applying a bias magnetic field to the storage elements.
