The DIGITAL plus SILVER locomotive decoder has a built in NMRA 8 pin plug and is suitable for 
all DC locomotives with continuous current draw of 1.0 Amp. or less. That have a DCC Medium 
plug socket. The characteristics of the decoder are: 

 

Super smooth and silent high frequency back-emf motor control.  

 

Asymmetrical DCC support including directional stopping. 

 

Adjustable precision stopping control. 

 

Low speed gear for switching operations. 

 

Selectable for operation with 14/27, or 28/128 speed steps. 

 

Operation on conventional DC layouts is possible or can be disabled. 

 

Motor output = 1A continuous, 1.8A max, > 5 A stall. 

 

Motor and function outputs protected. 

 

Four function outputs rated at 100mA each with advanced function mapping. 

 

Directional or independent lighting with dimming and special effects. 

 

Support for Advanced Consist Control and Extended Addressing. 

 

Support for programming on the mainline (operations mode programming). 

 

Support for all form of programming as described in NMRA RP-9.2.3  

 

Supports service mode decoder lock. 

 

Size: L 0.71" x W 0.50"x H 0.14"   L 18mm x W 12.9 mm x H 3.6mm
