Abstract
A semiconductor memory device internal voltage generator and internal voltage generating method are disclosed. The device and method are capable of supplying a uniform amount of electric charge and generating a stable internal voltage, despite variations in an external voltage. The internal voltage generator includes a PMOS driving transistor having a source connected to the external voltage, a gate connected to a driving signal, and a drain that supplies the internal voltage. The interval voltage generator also includes a driving signal generator that generates the driving signal in response to a control signal. The driving signal generator maintains a voltage between the gate and source of the PMOS driving transistor at a substantially uniform voltage level despite variations in the external voltage.
