The precharge circuit is depicted in Figure~\ref{fig:precharge} and is
implemented by three PMOS transistors. The input signal to the cell,
clk, enables all three transistors during the first half of a read or
write cycle (i.e. while the clock signal is low). M1 and M2 charge BL
and BLB to Vdd and M3 helps to equalize the voltages seen on BL and
BLB.

In OpenRAM, the precharge citcuitry is dynamically generated using the
parameterized transistor class (\verb|ptx|). The \verb|precharge|
class in \verb|precharge.py| dynamically generates a single precharge cell.
parameterized transistor class ptx which is further discussed in
Section~\ref{sec:ptx}. The offsets of the bitlines and the width of
the precharge cell are equal to the bitcell so that the bitlines are
correctly connected by abutment. The precharge class in
\verb|modules/precharge.py| dynamically generates a single precharge
cell.
\verb|modules/precharge_array.py| creates a row of precharge cells at
the top of a bitcell array.
The offsets of the bitlines and the width of the precharge cell are
equal to the 6T cell so that the bitlines are correctly connected down
to the 6T cell. The \verb|precharge_array| class is then used to
generate a precharge array, which is a single row of \textbf{n}
precharge cells, where \textbf{n} equals the number of columns in the
bitcell array.
