+title:  "Bundles and Vecs"
+section: "chisel3"
+---
+`Bundle` and `Vec` are classes that allow the user to expand the set of Chisel datatypes with aggregates of other types.
+
+Bundles group together several named fields of potentially different types into a coherent unit, much like a `struct` in C. Users define their own bundles by defining a class as a subclass of `Bundle`.
+```scala
+class MyFloat extends Bundle {
+  val sign        = Bool()
+  val exponent    = UInt(8.W)
+  val significand = UInt(23.W)
+}
+
+val x  = Wire(new MyFloat)
+val xs = x.sign
+```
+
+> Currently, there is no way to create a bundle literal like ```8.U``` for ```UInt```s. Therefore, in order to create literals for bundles, we must declare a [[wire|Combinational-Circuits#wires]] of that bundle type, and then assign values to it. We are working on a way to declare bundle literals without requiring the creation of a Wire node and assigning to it.
+
+```scala
+// Floating point constant.
+val floatConst = Wire(new MyFloat)
+floatConst.sign := true.B
+floatConst.exponent := 10.U
+floatConst.significand := 128.U
+```
+
+A Scala convention is to capitalize the name of new classes and we suggest you follow that convention in Chisel too.
+
+Vecs create an indexable vector of elements, and are constructed as
+follows:
+```scala
+// Vector of 5 23-bit signed integers.
+val myVec = Wire(Vec(5, SInt(23.W)))
+
+// Connect to one element of vector.
+val reg3 = myVec(3)
+```
+
+(Note that we specify the number followed by the type of the `Vec` elements. We also specifiy the width of the `SInt`)
+
+The set of primitive classes
+(`SInt`, `UInt`, and `Bool`) plus the aggregate
+classes (`Bundles` and `Vec`s) all inherit from a common
+superclass, `Data`.  Every object that ultimately inherits from
+`Data` can be represented as a bit vector in a hardware design.
+
+Bundles and Vecs can be arbitrarily nested to build complex data
+structures:
+```scala
+class BigBundle extends Bundle {
+ // Vector of 5 23-bit signed integers.
+ val myVec = Vec(5, SInt(23.W))
+ val flag  = Bool()
+ // Previously defined bundle.
+ val f     = new MyFloat
+}
+```
+
+Note that the builtin Chisel primitive and aggregate classes do not
+require the `new` when creating an instance, whereas new user
+datatypes will.  A Scala `apply` constructor can be defined so
+that a user datatype also does not require `new`, as described in
+[Function Constructor](functional-module-creation.md).
+
+### Flipping Bundles
+
+The `Flipped()` function recursively flips all elements in a Bundle/Record. This is very useful for building bidirectional interfaces that connect to each other (e.g. `Decoupled`). See below for an example.
+
+```scala
+import chisel3.experimental.RawModule
+class MyBundle extends Bundle {
+  val a = Input(Bool())
+  val b = Output(Bool())
+}
+class MyModule extends RawModule {
+  // Normal instantiation of the bundle
+  // 'a' is an Input and 'b' is an Output
+  val normalBundle = IO(new MyBundle)
+  normalBundle.b := normalBundle.a
+
+  // Flipped recursively flips the direction of all Bundle fields
+  // Now 'a' is an Output and 'b' is an Input
+  val flippedBundle = IO(Flipped(new MyBundle))
+  flippedBundle.a := flippedBundle.b
+}
+```
+
+This generates the following Verilog:
+
+```verilog
+module MyModule( // @[:@3.2]
+  input   normalBundle_a, // @[:@4.4]
+  output  normalBundle_b, // @[:@4.4]
+  output  flippedBundle_a, // @[:@5.4]
+  input   flippedBundle_b // @[:@5.4]
+);
+  assign normalBundle_b = normalBundle_a;
+  assign flippedBundle_a = flippedBundle_b;
+endmodule
+```
+
+### MixedVec
+
+(Chisel 3.2+)
+
+All elements of a `Vec` must be of the same type. If we want to create a Vec where the elements have different types, we can use a MixedVec:
+
+```scala
+class MyModule extends Module {
+  val io = IO(new Bundle {
+    val x = Input(UInt(3.W))
+    val y = Input(UInt(10.W))
+    val vec = Output(MixedVec(UInt(3.W), UInt(10.W)))
+  })
+  io.vec(0) := io.x
+  io.vec(1) := io.y
+}
+```
+
+We can also programmatically create the types in a MixedVec:
+
+```scala
+class MyModule(x: Int, y: Int) extends Module {
+  val io = IO(new Bundle {
+    val vec = Input(MixedVec((x to y) map { i => UInt(i.W) }))
+    // ...
+  })
+  // ...rest of the module goes here...
+}
+```
+
+### A note on `cloneType`
+
+Since Chisel is built on top of Scala and the JVM, it needs to know how to construct copies of bundles for various purposes (creating wires, IOs, etc). If you have a parametrized bundle and Chisel can't automatically figure out how to clone your bundle, you will need to create a custom `cloneType` method in your bundle. Most of the time, this is as simple as `override def cloneType = (new YourBundleHere(...)).asInstanceOf[this.type]`.
+
+Note that in the vast majority of cases, **this is not required** as Chisel can figure out how to clone most bundles automatically.
+
+Here is an example of a parametrized bundle (`ExampleBundle`) that features a custom `cloneType`.
+```scala
+class ExampleBundle(a: Int, b: Int) extends Bundle {
+    val foo = UInt(a.W)
+    val bar = UInt(b.W)
+    override def cloneType = (new ExampleBundle(a, b)).asInstanceOf[this.type]
+}
+
+class ExampleBundleModule(btype: ExampleBundle) extends Module {
+    val io = IO(new Bundle {
+        val out = Output(UInt(32.W))
+        val b = Input(chiselTypeOf(btype))
+    })
+    io.out := io.b.foo + io.b.bar
+}
+
+class Top extends Module {
+    val io = IO(new Bundle {
+        val out = Output(UInt(32.W))
+        val in = Input(UInt(17.W))
+    })
+    val x = Wire(new ExampleBundle(31, 17))
+    x := DontCare
+    val m = Module(new ExampleBundleModule(x))
+    m.io.b.foo := io.in
+    m.io.b.bar := io.in
+    io.out := m.io.out
+}
+```
+
+Generally cloneType can be automatically defined if all arguments to the Bundle are vals e.g.
+
+```scala
+class MyBundle(val width: Int) extends Bundle {
+   val field = UInt(width.W)
+   // ...
+}
+```
+
+The only caveat is if you are passing something of type Data as a "generator" parameter, in which case you should make it a `private val`.
+
+For example, consider the following Bundle:
+
+```scala
+class RegisterWriteIO[T <: Data](gen: T) extends Bundle {
+  val request  = Flipped(Decoupled(gen))
+  val response = Irrevocable(Bool()) // ignore .bits
+
+  override def cloneType = new RegisterWriteIO(gen).asInstanceOf[this.type]
+}
+```
+
+We can make this this infer cloneType by making `gen` private since it is a "type parameter":
+
+```scala
+class RegisterWriteIO[T <: Data](private val gen: T) extends Bundle {
+  val request  = Flipped(Decoupled(gen))
+  val response = Irrevocable(Bool()) // ignore .bits
+}
+```
