The negative voltage generating device includes a current interrupting
controller, a voltage generating controller, and a negative voltage
generator. The current interrupting controller outputs a current
interrupting control signal in response to a control signal, which is
enabled during the application of a power-up signal. The voltage
generating controller compares a first reference voltage to a feedback
voltage in response to the current interrupting control signal and
outputs a voltage generating control signal. The negative voltage
generator generates the feedback voltage and a second negative voltage by
receiving the first negative voltage in response to the voltage
generating control signal.
