+\begin{itemize}
+\item The special parameters {\tt \_TECHMAP\_CONSTMSK\_\it <port-name>\tt \_} and
+{\tt \_TECHMAP\_CONSTVAL\_\it <port-name>\tt \_} can be used to handle constant
+input values to cells.
+\medskip
+\item The former contains 1-bits for all constant input bits on the port.
+\medskip
+\item The latter contains the constant bits or undef (x) for non-constant bits.
+\medskip
+\item Example use-cases:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Converting arithmetic (for example multiply to shift)
+\item Identify constant addresses or enable bits in memory interfaces.
+\end{itemize}
