Same problem here. The MCP2210 ought to be referred to as “discontinued.” If only I’d read about this problem before ordering 10 PCBs without making a prototype because the circuit is so simple even idiots can’t do it wrong… unless the chip is flawed.

I found this to be the case as well – my first batch of boards using the MCP2210 worked fine but on the second or third one, I had to swap out the resonators for different ones since I was getting yield issues. Thanks for the write-up.
