Abstract
A high voltage generating circuit includes a standby high voltage generating means and an active high voltage generating means. The standby high voltage generating means detects a level of a high voltage in both a standby mode and an active mode to boost the high voltage when the level of the high voltage is lower than a predetermined level. The active high voltage generating means varies a voltage boosting ability responsive to a control signal when an active command is applied in the active mode to thereby boost the level of the high voltage. The active high voltage generating means also detects whether the level of the high voltage is lower than the predetermined level to adjust a level of the control signal.
