Previous studies have already proven that self-timed circuit design is a promising choice to extend their lifetime. This paper presents an exploration of different protocols and design styles on different sets of available {NEM} switch types as a foundation for identifying the most suitable choice.}, eventtitle = {2026 30th International Symposium on Asynchronous Circuits and Systems ({ASYNC})}, pages = {88--91}, booktitle = {2026 30th International Symposium on Asynchronous Circuits and Systems ({ASYNC})}, author = {Lehninger, Philipp and Steininger, Andreas and Jantsch, Axel}, urldate = {2026-09-07}, date = {2026-06}, note = {{ISSN}: 2643-1483}, keywords = {Bundled Data ({BD}), Circuits, Conferences, Contacts, Delay Insensitive Minterm Synthesis ({DIMS}), Design methodology, Latches, Libraries, Logic, Nanoelectromechanical ({NEM}), Nanoelectromechanical systems, Null Conventional Logic with Explicit Completeness ({NCLX}), Printing, Quasi Delay Insensitive ({QDI}), Switches}, }
