Abstract
An electric brake control apparatus includes: a clamping force acquisition unit configured to acquire a clamping force generated by moving a piston toward a pad through rotation of a motor; a lower-limit clamping force acquisition unit configured to acquire a minimum value of the clamping force required to maintain a stopped state of the rotor; an upper-limit clamping force acquisition unit configured to acquire a maximum value of the clamping force to move the piston away from the pad through a power of a power supply while maintaining the stopped state of the rotor, based on a state of a power supply; and a clamping force control unit configured to control the motor such that the clamping force is confined between the minimum value and the maximum value.
