The Gigabyte CTM012 TPM 2.0 module, SPI is a Trusted Platform Module designed to enhance the security of compatible Gigabyte motherboards. This module provides hardware-based encryption and authentication. Using the TPM 2.0 standard (revision 1.59+), it complies with FIPS requirements, ensuring reliable cryptographic functions necessary for data protection and user credential verification. This is especially valuable when using applications such as Windows BitLocker and for secure online banking transactions.

Main technical specifications:

• TPM Version: 2.0, compliant with the latest security standards.
• Interface: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) with a 2 x 7 pin (14 pins) port, which is uncommon compared to typical 12-pin TPM modules.
• Cryptographic processor: Infineon SLB9672VU2.0, generating military-grade 2048-bit encryption keys.
• Dimensions: 20.32 mm × 14.73 mm, suitable for small form factor integration.
• Compatibility: Mainly with Gigabyte motherboards providing a TPM SPI port supporting TPM 2.0.
• Operating System Support: Compatible with Windows 7 (64-bit), Windows 8.1 (32/64-bit), and Windows 10 (64-bit).

Functional benefits:

• Provides hardware-level security against software and physical attacks.
• Enables hard drive encryption with Windows BitLocker.
• Supports device authentication for secure online transactions.
• Facilitates compliance with enterprise-level security requirements via FIPS.

This compact, high-security microcontroller accessory is tailored for business applications and advanced consumers.
