The Programmable Switch Mode Controller (PSMC) is a high-performance 16-bit pulse-width modulator (PWM) that can be configured to operate in one of many modes to support single or multiple phase applications. It was designed to meet a need to intelligently and efficiently drive the MOSFET switching of various Switch Mode Power Supplies, Lighting, and Motor Drive applications.

Basically, it is a PWM Swiss army knife that gives you 12 different modes of PWM generation, and the flexibility to be used with other on-board peripherals to solve or update real world applications. The PIC16(LF)F178x family of devices are the first PIC microcontrollers introduced with the PSMC module.
