A circuit generating a high voltage and enabling a reduced power consumption by controlling the number of charge pumps in accordance with a current of an output terminal of a charge sensing unit. The circuit for generating a high voltage includes a charge pumping unit having a plurality of charge pumps, a current sensing unit generating a plurality of control signals by comparing currents flowing through final output terminals of the charge pumps to reference currents, respectively, and a control logic driving a plurality of the charge pumps in the charge pumping unit dynamically in accordance with a plurality of the control signals outputted from the current sensing unit.
