#157511 - not a power consumption issue
Responding to: ???'s previous message
in fact it's a part of an AVR high voltage programmer. Atmel says to enter programming mode the following algorithm must be done (from ATmega 16 datasheet):


1. Set Prog_enable pins listed in Table 108 on page 263 to “0000”.
2. Apply 4.5 - 5.5V between Vcc and GND simultanously as 11.5 - 12.5V is applied to RESET.

those "Prog_enable pins" are four input pins. they should be zero before powering up the MCU.

All pins of the target chip (that I called it slave before) that are involved in programming are input but one. this one also tied to one onput pin of the master MCU. therefore I think there is no considerable sink/source current through I/O pins. but I don't know how much current is needed during programming.
