#56900 - No such thing as 5-bit BCD!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
"No, sorry i haven`t explaind it too well"

That bit is certainly true!

"the cpu recives data through an i/o pin, each caracter is made out of 5 bits"

So it's not actually BCD at all, then?

BCD is Binary-Coded Decimal; you only need 4 bits to encode all ten possible decimal digits - so what is this 5-bit "bcd" that you're talking about?
