Rice Cooker Motherboards

A simplified block diagram for a rice cooker motherboard illustrates the need for metal oxide varistors, Schottky diode rectifiers, and triacs. Littelfuse produces each of these overcurrent protection and current switching devices. We also make fuses that protect the solid state switches from overcurrent events.
