Spartan 3 - insurge current

There is no high-current "insurge" upon power-on in Xilinx Virtex-II and later, nor in Spartan-3 devices. We fixed that old problem many years ago... Peter Alfke, Xilinx Applications

Any of the more modern Xilinx architectures (Virtex-II, Virtex-II Pro, Spartan-3/-3E) do not have a power-on surge current requirement in order to power on the FPGA. The current requirements are essentially the same as the maximum quiescent requirements listed in the data sheet.

For example, the XC3S1000 limits are described in Table 7, page 5 of the following document.
