Thanks FvM but I might be more interested with line-driver + modem + controller all in one IC. I have seen power ICs that can take direct 230V AC input, why that part is not integrated on-chip for TDA5051A.
I am wondering why major semiconductor manufacturers have not developed such a product.

Integrating the PLC modem with a controller doesn't sound practical to me, too divergent requirements. But you should ask the question at controller manufacturers.
Power ICs neither integrate rectifier, capacitors or magnetics. In so far the NXP BOM looks fair to me. The offer of simple (kBaud bandwidth) PLC is rather small, apparently vendors rather move to wireless for home automation.
