Looking for a multiport charger that can provide charging for both my iphone and 9th generation ipad at the same time.
iPad, iPadOS 15
Most models of iPad require a Power Adapter rated at 12W (i.e., 2.4A @5V) or greater to reliably charge. 5W Power Adapters intended for older models of iPhone (and early models of iPad) are inadequate to charge modern iPads; if the iPad charges at all, charging will be very slow.
Recent models of iPad and iPhone support USB-PD (Power Delivery) - and can operate/charge from a variety of input voltages/current. The stock Apple 20W Power Adapter can supply 3.0A @5V and 2.0A @9V (2.22A @9V when operating from an +200VAC-supply).
By contrast, Apple’s 30W USB-PD Power Adapter can output 1.5A @20V, 2.0A @15V, 3.0A @9V, 3.0A @5V. You should note that when connected to a device that does not support USB-PD, the Power Adapter will default to 5V operation.
Be aware that Apple devices only support standard USB Power (5V) or USB-PD. Other proprietary charging standards are not supported.
Apple has announced release of two models of USB-C 35W dual port Power Adapters. More details of their specifications can be found here:

Other third-party manufacturers market compatible multi-port Power Adapters for Apple devices. Perhaps look at Anker and Belkin - but ensure that the model that you choose supports USB-PD.

It shouldn't really matter in terms of what works, but it may matter in terms of what's charges faster.
It's capable of accepting 5V/9V/12V and then converting to the proper internal charging/operating voltage.
What are you looking to get? You should have no issue with compatibility, but as noted, charging speed may vary.
ANY Apple branded or third party Apple approved charging adapter will work to charge both your iPhone and iPad as long as he charger has a minimum of 12V to be able to charge the larger battery of any iPad model.
Best of Luck to You!
What is the voltage and current reuirement for a ninth generation i-pad? 20 watt power charger does not provide the voltage and current required.
