TIDA-020106

Design files

Overview

Electro-mechanical brake (EMB) is a new type of braking technology aimed at electrification and intelligence of automobiles, provides overall cost saving, faster response and more precise operation for advanced autonomous driving. This reference design shows a whole functional EMB design. The hardware, Software and function safety design are all illustrated in this guide. This reference design can also be referred for a electro power steering (EPS) since EPS has very similar key components as EMB.

Features
  • 48V/12V compatible design
  • ASIL-D compatible design
  • Flexible discrete components design
  • <100uA standby power
  • Electronic parking braking (EPB) supported
  • Pedal and press sensors interface supported
  • Up to 500W BLDC motor supported
  • 158mm × 83mm x 20mm compact board size
