    Abstract: A fan rotation speed detection system includes a sampling and modulating unit, a lighting unit, a light sensing unit, a demodulating unit, and a control chip. The sampling and modulating unit generates a sampling frequency signal. The sampling frequency signal is a square wave signal. The lighting unit emits light on fan blades of a fan when the square wave signal is at a high level. The light sensing unit senses light reflected from the fan blades and generate a detection signal. The demodulating unit demodulates the detection signal to generate a demodulated signal when the square wave signal is at a high level. The control chip accounts a rotation speed of the fan according to the demodulated signal.
