Vishay ABS/ESP ECU & Actuator Control Solutions

Vishay ABS/ESP ECU and Actuator Control Solutions focus on the ABS/ESP control unit for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. These electronic control units (ECUs) offer essential active safety functions in automotive technology. The ECUs communicate with an elaborate array of sensors placed strategically throughout the car to monitor everything from wheel speed to driving direction, centrifugal force, and wheel blocking. Tight electronic control means that braking becomes safer, to avoid accidents by the possibility of having complete steering control while braking, to shorten the braking distance, with ESP - to eliminate skidding on curves (up to physical borders). Modern ABS/ESP systems will replace more electro-hydraulic systems with electromechanical components to gain more brake sensitivity and save energy. Park brake functions could be integrated into these technologies, enabling functions like drive-on aid. Additionally, the weight of the systems is far less than previous systems. The ABS/ESP system can handle complex situations with trailers, also.
