In another thread somebody mentioned a type of the signal that HW generates.
Having OD output doesn't prevent HW to behave like it does edge interrupts,
id est generating a pulse instead of keeping the level until it gets acked.
With that being said, I would ask the datasheet citation to clarify the case.
