"Programable Integrated Circuit" is veri good to describe what are entry-level Microchip's PIC.

Yes, taken literally at face-value, the words themselves are very apt.

However, as I said earlier, the use of the term "PIC" as a brand-name for Microchip's range of microcontrollers is so well established - especially in this context - that you will only cause confusion with it!
