Can FPGA used to control powerline communications.

I've found an article on powerlines which uses PIC 16F877A....by any chnce can i knoe which fpga can be compatible to replace PIC 16F877A where it can be used to transmit and receive data....further it can read parallel data and convert it to serial data....ive attached the circuit to be more precise....

This is just one method of powerline communications.

If you plan on connecting two devices together of your own design, then you can use something like this. However, if you expect to interface to other commercial components, then you have to select a standard PLC interface (there will be multiple). So first, decide what you want to communicate with, then find a compatible PHY.
