      Without LDO, but with pull up resistors (smallest board I could find):

          Your plan is it to change your narrow board with SDL/SDA pad. maybe a jumper to change D2/D3 pin to SDL/SDA?

            It`s a mess that the pinout of both modules is different.

              @Carl-H it's a possibility. No plans yet, other projects ongoing.

                I just received some si7021 boards from china. They are with LDO and level shifter, similar to
                http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Si7021-Industrial-High-Precision-Humidity-Sensor-with-I2C-Interface-for-Arduino/32529522264.html
                (the original offer went offline, it was from a reseller named "home boutique", no idea why they sold this item)
                If I use them with a battery node, is it sufficient to remove (and short-cut) the LDO or do I need to remove the level shifter too?

                  @fleinze I would suggest to leave these as they are and measure the consumption. Removing the LDO didn't give me a noticeable difference. It could depend on the board however.

                    @fleinze I am using ATmega328 with 1Mhz and with LDO i have 15uA in standby mode. I have removed the LDO and measured 8uA. You should try it yourself.

                        @m26872 @kenci @AWI Thank you very much for your answers!
                        I will go for removing the LDO but letting the level-shifter in place, because it is a pain in the ass to bypass the levelshifter.

                        Bypassing the desoldered LDO is very easy. Just connect the following point on the resistor-array:

                          @fleinze The 662k on this board has a typical drop-out of 250mV and power consumption of only 1uA... and takes care of a stable power supply. I doubt if there is any advantage in bridging or removing the LDO.

                            @AWI What happens when the input voltage drops below 3.1V ? It seems the output voltage just follows the input voltage minus the dropout. I have not measured this yet, but I'm assuming this, since i have nodes working below 3.1V and sending temperature and humidity readings.

                              @GertSanders No conclusive reading from the datasheet. I will do some measurements later. ..
