Delighted in your interest in Elan's VPU16551, however the photo you have put beside it bears no resemblance to the Elan chip at all. The Elan device is a Ball Grid Array chip which means it has no "legs" and therefore takes very little room on a CF card where space is limited.

to get a view of this tiny chip or look at the picture on the Market Wire information page.
Thanks for your feedback. Correction made.
Many thanks!
