-[[:glossary#dcc_digital_command_control|DCC]] decoders are used to control trackside accessories such as turnouts and signals using the NMRA standard pulsed signal. The signal can be carried by the track and track feeders or can be a separate circuit, which avoids the risk of a derailment or short preventing the control of the turnouts. All DCC manufacturers make accessory decoders and MERG provide kits.\\  +**[[glossary:glossary_d#dcc|DCC]]** decoders are used to control trackside accessories such as turnouts and signals using the NMRA standard pulsed signal.

 Address is the unique identification of anything. In the context of DCC it means the coding of each loco or other decoder, which ensures that it identifies the signals intended for it. Address is the unique identification of anything.

-An Amplifier is a device which uses a small amount of power to control source of large amount of energy+An Amplifier is a device or circuit that converts a small signal, voltage or current, into larger signal, voltage or current.  Amplifiers are typically built from discrete devices like tubes or transistors, or are manufactured as a IC device to reduce components or complexity.  
 + 
 +You will generally run into three amplifier types on the MERG forum or with MERG kits; transistor as an amplifier, an Operational Amplifier (op amp) such as an LM324 or an audio amplifier such as an LM386
