BitVector is a family of types for storing multiple bits of information in a single value.
BitVector is a family of types for storing multiple bits of information in a single value. This type has three subtypes that can be used to model different behaviours:
Base class to create Bit Vector from literal
The Bits type corresponds to a vector of bits that does not convey any arithmetic meaning.

clock and reset signals can be combined to create a clock domain.
clock and reset signals can be combined to create a clock domain. Clock domains could be applied to some area of the design and then all synchronous elements instantiated into this area will then implicitly use this clock domain. Clock domain application work like a stack, which mean, if you are in a given clock domain, you can still apply another clock domain locally
Clock Area with a specila clock enable
Clock domains could be applied to some area of the design and then all synchronous elements instantiated into this area will then implicitly use this clock domain.
