    the virtex's are specified to draw a big power-on surge actually.
    Thats if you bring up the supplies in the correct order. 
    No idea what happens in the 'wrong' order.

Or use the timing tool to derate.  Of couse, this needs a good package model.  Ambient temps are no use unless you are doing an average design.
    
    Last package model I saw was a theta-JA resistance, so max ambient 
    still matters.
    As does Tjmax and the (probably data specific) power dissiption.
