A part like any the Cypress PSoC family is much more flexible (but potentially harder to program) than the PIC because it has hardware blocks that can be made to do very useful work independent of the processor. The processor can run on its internal RC oscillator while one digital block would take an external clock and divide it down by any value up to 256. Like the PIC software is free and development tools can be had at low cost.
