APPARATUS FOR BRAKING USING ELECTRIC BOOSTER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Provided are an apparatus for braking using an electric booster and a control method thereof. The apparatus for braking using an electric booster includes an electric booster connected to a master cylinder and configured to discharge braking hydraulic pressure by pressing a piston of the master cylinder with electric power of a motor together with a driver's pedal force, an electric hydraulic braking unit connected to the master cylinder through hydraulic lines, and configured to store braking hydraulic pressure in an accumulator and to perform ESC braking by driving a pumping motor, and a control unit configured to control the electric booster and the electric hydraulic braking unit, to compare required braking hydraulic pressure with preset reference hydraulic pressure when the ESC braking is required, and to perform ESC braking by the electric hydraulic braking unit or braking by the electric booster according to a result of the comparison.
