Abstract
A voltage generating circuit, a semiconductor memory device, and a voltage generating method are provided. The voltage generating circuit includes: an oscillation signal generating part generating an oscillation signal that alternately repeats a state of a first voltage and a state of a second voltage; a capacitor having one end receiving the oscillation signal and an other end connected to an output node; a switch element receiving a control voltage and set to an on state or an off state according to the control voltage, and applying the first voltage to the output node when set to the on state; and a switch control part supplying, as the control voltage to the switch element, the second voltage when the oscillation signal is in the state of the first voltage, and a voltage of the output node when the oscillation signal is in the state of the second voltage.
