An internal voltage generation circuit includes a first detection unit, a second detection unit, a control unit, and a voltage pumping unit. The first detection unit compares an internal voltage with a first reference voltage to generate a first detection signal when the first detection unit is activated in response to a first enable signal. The second detection unit compares the internal voltage with a second reference voltage to generate a second detection signal. The control unit generates the first enable signal and a second enable signal in response to the first detection signal and the second detection signal. The voltage pumping unit generates the internal voltage in response to the second enable signal.
