Abstract
A magnetic memory device, including: a cell array including: a memory cell comprising a first magnetic tunnel junction element, and a one-time-programmable (OTP) cell comprising a second magnetic tunnel junction element; and a control circuit configured to perform a read operation on the OTP cell by applying a write current to the OTP cell, and determining whether a resistance of the OTP cell changes after the write current is applied to the OTP cell.
