NMRA DCC systems. The characteristics of the decoder are:

 

Selectable for operation with 14/27, 28/55, 128 direct drive or 128 speed table
mode with precision glide motor control.

 

Two on/off function outputs with a current rating of 200 mA that can be
configured for either directional lighting, full Rule 17 lighting, or lights and F1

 

Headlights can also be dimmed using an extra function.

 

Support for Advanced Consist Control and Extended Addressing

 

Operation on conventional DC layouts is possible. This feature may be
disabled.

 

Full Support for operations mode programming (long and short) and full support
for all forms of programming as described in NMRA RP-9.2.3

 

Rich set of properties which the user can set to customize the decoder to a
particular locomotive.

 

Provides 1A continuous motor current.
