A fan speed pulse filter is used for a PWM fan. The filter comprises a comparator, a latch circuit and a synchronizer. The fan unit, including a tachometer pulse output, is controlled by a PWM signal for determining the fan speed. By comparing the PWM signal with a reference voltage, the comparator generates a reset signal. The latch circuit, coupled to the comparator and the fan unit, receives the reset signal and the tachometer pulse and outputs a filtered tachometer pulse containing no phantom pulses. Furthermore, a synchronizer generates an output signal without interruption when the PWM signal is switched off.
