Higher or lower values of inductors and output capacitors can
be used in the regulator, but system stability and load transient
performance must be verified.
Table 7 and Table 8 list some recommended inductors and
capacitors for the ADP2164.

INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The input capacitor reduces the input voltage ripple caused by
the switch current on PVIN. Place the input capacitor as close
as possible to the PVIN pins. A 22 μF or 47 μF ceramic capacitor
is recommended. The rms current rating of the input capacitor
should be larger than the value calculated using the following
equation:

DDII
ORMS
−××= 1
where
D is the duty cycle.
VOLTAGE TRACKING
The ADP2164 includes a tracking feature that allows the
ADP2164 output (slave voltage) to be configured to track
an external voltage (master voltage), as shown in Figure 39.

Coincident Tracking
A common requirement is coincident tracking, as shown in
Figure 40. Coincident tracking limits the slave output voltage
to the same value as the master voltage until the slave output
voltage reaches regulation. Connect the TRK pin to a resistor
divider driven from the master voltage, as shown in Figure 39.

Ratiometric Tracking
Ratiometric tracking is shown in Figure 41. The slave output is
limited to a fraction of the master voltage. In this application, the
slave and master voltages reach their final values at the same time.
