No, you can't do that.
 
Thanks .That solved my first issue in a disappointing way Hi!.

Then, I need to derive +5V @1A and 12V @ 1Amps from a varying supply (40vDC to 60VDC).
( I have measure and display this input voltage, that is what I am going to do )
What would you recommend I should do to get my DC rails?

Thanks for the response
 
Use an IC that will work from 60V.

I read that page and it seems that it will give only 7.5V max output. I need to drive big 4" 7Segment display.So need 12Volts

Thanks

edit
sorry it will give upto 70V.

But no locally available, may have to get from farnel at high cost. LM2576 was availble

Thanks

You've misread it, it'll give up to 70V out and will take up to 75V in.
