If the first and second magnetoresistive random access memory cells fail to pass the verification action, the control current is increased by a current increment, and the step of setting the control current is performed again. If the first and second magnetoresistive random access memory cells pass the verification action, a one-bit random code is stored in the first magnetoresistive random access memory cell or the second magnetoresistive random access memory cell.
