Abstract
A semiconductor storage apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a plurality of memory cells and a control circuit. Each of the memory cells includes a magnetization reversal memory device and a first switch device that controls a current to flow to the magnetization reversal memory device. The control circuit performs a writing control based on an asymmetric property of a writing error rate curve line with respect to a writing voltage of the magnetization reversal memory device.
