After writing the program above I had a look at the LPC1500 SCR cookbook and read about the dithering.
I'm the type of person who does search for solutions only after writing an own one, to find out, if the approaches converge. This gives more chance to new ideas.
No I didn't notice, that LPC43xx has that feature, too. Thanks for the information, I have one of these :)
The hardware dithering saves one SCT (used just for the switching) and allows faster frequency switching for quite a few ratios (3/16, 5/16, 6/16, 7/16, ...). On the other hand, the SW approach can do (1/10, 2/10, ....).
