Hello, A while ago, when I was deeper into my diner phase, I built a diner inspired by Mickey’s in St. Paul, MN. I was inspired to build it by looking at the works of painter John Baeder. (His work also inspired my AlMac’s Diner, which I later found (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town)

(...) I'd say its worth a try from the 4.3v supply from the NXT. I note that the SP03 spec. says it has a 3v regulator onboard, so its not really running from 5v anyhow. The I2C signals are open drain, so they should be ok unless their inputs won't (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

It sounds like the NXT probably doesn't have enough power available to run that chip, but you might look at using a BUC (Boost-Up Converter) component to bring the 4.3V supply up to a higher level?
