A speed signal converter circuit including an analog signal conditioning stage and a digital signal processing stage. The analog signal conditioning stage determines a voltage of an input speed signal, combines the voltage with an alternating current (AC) injection voltage signal having a set frequency to generate a combined voltage signal, and outputs a pulsed zero-crossing signal including a rising edge and a falling edge indicating a zero-crossing of the input speed signal based on the combined voltage signal. The digital signal processing stage determines a rising edge slope of the input speed signal and a falling edge slope of the input signal based on a rising edge and a falling edge of the pulsed zero-crossing signal, and determines an optimal edge among one of the rising edges or the falling edges based on a comparison between the rising edge slope and the falling edge slope.
