In order to provide a semiconductor memory apparatus which can flexibly change the priority of reading requests when the reading request is issued and which do not exclusively use the memory bus, a semiconductor memory apparatus includes: a main memory which stores data at an address while maintaining a corresponding relationship between the data and the address; a read request input portion receiving a read request which maintains a corresponding relationship between address information that is referred to when reading the data and priority information that indicates priority for reading the data; a read data storing portion which stores the data and priority while maintaining a corresponding relationship thereof; a data reading portion reads the data corresponding to address information which is input by the read request input portion from the main memory; a read data registration portion storing both the priority information input by the read request input and the data read by the data reading portion to the read data storing portion while maintaining a corresponding relationship between the priority information and the data read; and a priority operation control portion which chooses and outputs the data with a highest priority among the priority information and the data that are stored in the read data storing portion while maintaining a corresponding relationship between the priority information and the data.

A synchronous DRAM is provided which includes arrangements for operations of power supply circuitry based upon whether the DRAM is in a power down mode or not. In one embodiment, a first power supply circuit and a second power supply circuit are provided which both receive externally supplied voltages and output internal supply voltages. The first power supply circuit is not in operation when a semiconductor device of the synchronous DRAM is in a power down mode. However, the second power supply circuit is continuously in operation during the power down mode. In another arrangement, the operation of a voltage limiter circuit is controlled based on whether or not the DRAM is in a power down mode.
