14 years ago --- Quote Start --- Can anyone help me on this ...i would like to use fpga to be used on powerline communication but im blank on how to do it...... --- Quote End --- You'll need some sort of PHY (physical interface). Go and find out how microcontrollers do it. The interface will be some form of parallel/serial I/O to the PHY, and then the PHY will connect to the power-line. Most likely through an isolating transformer.
