Abstract
The increasing complexity of hardware systems demands a hardware design process starting on a high level of abstraction identified as “System Design”. Furthermore, HDLs covering this level of abstraction become more and more important in this field. This paper points out some main aspects of HDLs providing System Design. Two candidates are introduced as HDLs for System Design. On the one hand VHDL as the IEEE Std HDL and on the other hand DSDL used inside SIEMENS providing high level description. In addition, an example of DSDL in System Design shows the benefit to the hardware designer following this approach (early design analysis, shorter development time).
