Signal descriptions
While /Clear is low, Q is reset to 0.
When CountEnable and CarryIn are both high, a low-to-high transition on Clock increases the value of Q by 1, wrapping from 15 to 0.
CarryOut is high when CarryIn is high and Q is 15.
/Load causes Q to be set to the value of D on a low-to-high transition of Clock.
