U3 is the CD74HC190, which is a BCD up/down counter. This counter only counts on the rising edge of the pulse sent from the quadrature decoder (U2). The pre-settable pins are set to GND to give an initial value of 0. C3 is a bypass capacitor that is placed near the IC to help mitigate power supply noise and provide current quickly to the device when needed. C8 and R6 create an RC filter which are used with a single Schmitt-Trigger buffer (U8, SN74LVC1G17) to delay the LOAD signal for the up/down counter (U3). This is done so that the initial value of 0 is loaded to the counter after the device has been powered on.
