Derating Calculation -

Open your current design. Calculate the actual power/voltage stress at your max operating temperature. If any component is running above 80% of its datasheet max, upgrade it now.

P_max = 1.0 × 0.538 = 0.538 Watts

Most datasheets provide a . You can calculate the maximum allowed power using this linear formula: derating calculation

Derating Factor = (70) / (130) = 0.538
