Abstract

A magnetic shift register including at least one magnetic track is provided. Each magnetic track has at least one set of burst data formed by a plurality of consecutive magnetic domains. Each magnetic domain has a magnetization direction corresponding to a stored data. A head magnetic domain having a given magnetization direction corresponding to a given stored data is set at a most front of the set of burst data, and the head magnetic domain and the set of burst data form a data storage unit. A method for reading a magnetic shift register is provided.
