Abstract
According to one embodiment, the present invention comprises a voltage-controlled magnetoresistive element having a variable resistance value, and a first control circuit that controls a voltage or a current applied to the magnetoresistive element. The magnetoresistive element includes a first magnetic layer having a voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy effect, a second magnetic layer having a voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy effect of a different magnitude from the voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy effect of the first magnetic layer, and a spacer layer provided between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. The first control circuit attenuates the voltage or the current.
