Adafruit SCD-40 - True CO2, Temperature and Humidity Sensor - STEMMA QT / Qwiic | Code: 5187

This sensor can run from 3.3 to 5V but it's more important for it to have a quiet power supply with low ripple, than any particular voltage. For that reason, Adafruit has added a 3.3V regulator and level shifters: when connecting to a 5V microcontroller like an Arduino UNO the 5V supply is often shared with other electronic components that add noise. The onboard regulator will keep the voltage nice and quiet.
