Abstract

A rotation speed control circuit for controlling a rotation speed of a fan includes: a rotation speed detector, for generating a rotation speed voltage according to a rotation speed signal corresponding to the rotation speed; a sample and hold element, coupled to the rotation speed detector, for sampling and storing the rotation speed voltage; an error amplifier, coupled to the sample and hold element, for controlling a voltage of a filter capacitor according to the rotation speed voltage and a reference voltage, to adjust an error voltage; and a pulse width modulation signal generator, coupled to the filter capacitor, for generating a pulse width modulation signal according to the error voltage and a triangle wave.
