Self-timed (ST) circuits (STC) proposed by D.Muller in the 50s of the twentieth century are the perspective direction of the digital technology, despite the known difficulties and problems. This direction is especially important in connection with the development of nanoelectronics, since quantum effects can lead to the impossibility of global synchronization. This paper discusses further ways of the developing ST devices oriented on FPGAs. The authors in their work focus on the design of the Self-Timed communication switch, ST adaptive logic gate LUT-DC LUT, and consider the possibility of expanding the applicability of previously developed optimization algorithms for the choosing optimal sets of ST logic gates.
