Abstract: Systems and methods for remote power tool control are provided. In one example, a battery pack is coupled to a power tool device. The battery pack includes a pack transceiver and a pack electronic processor. The pack electronic processor is coupled to the pack transceiver and is configured to determine that the power tool device is remotely controllable. The pack electronic processor is further configured to receive, wirelessly via a pack transceiver of the battery pack, a remote control command from a mobile device, and to provide the remote control command to the power tool device. The system further includes a tool electronic processor of the power tool device in communication with the pack electronic processor. The tool electronic processor is configured to control the power tool device to perform an action specified by the remote control command in response to receiving the remote control command.

Abstract: A voltage regulator for providing a predetermined output voltage from an unregulated voltage input is described where the output voltage is compared with a reference voltage to generate one or more control signals which in turn activate boost regulators which inject voltage onto the output. Each boost regulator utilizes a transformer for injecting the voltage onto the output and a bypass diode across the transformer to permit the input voltage less the diode voltage drop to appear at the output when the boost regulator is not activated.
