PRODUCTION DATA
The push-pull output allows for the lowest system power consumption because there is no current leakage path when the output drives high or low. The open-drain output involves a leakage path through the external pullup resistor when the output drives low.
The open-drain outputs of multiple devices can be tied together to form a logical AND. In this setup, if any sensor drives low, the voltage on the shared node becomes low. This can allow a single GPIO to measure an array of sensors.
