Benefits

• CompactFlash data is reliable because it can "rule out" bad data. If a CompactFlash device finds a defective cell in its host device, it will skip over that cell when reading data.
  
  

Where CF Is Used

• CompactFlash is primarily a multimedia technology. The digital camera market is the place where CompactFlash is most popular. Nearly all digital camera memory cards are designed using CompactFlash principles.
  
  

Single CF Chip

• As time goes on, increasingly sophisticated circuits are compressed into single chips. What used to require an entire chipboard can now be contained in one silicon chip. A single CF chip device is any device which stores its data and implements CF technology using only one chip.
