Lol
CAN tranceivers are made everywhere, they are big silicon, no need for tsmc. iirc even the aged philips fab in nijmegen can make them.

But try getting an MCU with CAN....

Try getting an MCU!   Getting it with CAN is just icing on the cake!

I've used MCU's with CAN peripherals, but they all still require an external transceiver. They handle (some of) the ugly details of the protocol, but they can't drive a bus. (Ralph Kramden, where are you?)  Are there MCU's with built in CAN transceivers?

I've certainly seen an MCU on an ECM which had CAN traces going directly into it, implying they do exist.  It was an automotive-specific Freescale chip with of course no datasheet publicly available.

This probably requires quite a large amount of die space and I wonder how resilient these are to the common faults, like 28V directly to CAN_H/CAN_L which is something most transceiver chips survive.
hans:
LPC Cortex-m0+ series also had an integrated CAN transceiver.

I also see 100k MCP2551 CAN transceivers in stock at Mouser. They work just fine and are a bargain.

How you replace CAN with I2C I don't know. Please don't I2C offboard, would'ya? It's an EMC and troubleshooting nightmare.
