I am currently trying to figure out how much power output I can push my 5v to 12V, 1 Watt, DC/DC converter.
Datasheet: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/RE-0512S/945-1142-ND/2256322
I haven't really worked with DC/DC's much and in my current application I need to push this this DC/DC as hard as I can.
There is a graph which I have attached that is showing Derating for ambient temperature. From what I can gather from the graph is that if you are using the DC/DC in an environment which is 85 degrees C or less you can run the DC/DC safely at 100% output power.(in this case 1Watt of power). I have a hard time believing this as that's 185 degrees F and you can still push the DC/DC at 100%???
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
