TPS92613-Q1: What is the best way to interface the FAULT line to a 3.3V microcontroller since it appears Voh(FAULT) is between 5V and 7V?

Part Number: TPS92613-Q1

In attempting to interface our 3.3V microcontroller to the FAULT line of the TPS92613, my colleage and I decided to use a level switcher circuit since the high-level output of the FAULT line is listed at 5V to 7V in the data sheet.  However, we neglected to consider that the FAULT line can also act as an input for a daisy-chained fault set-up.  Our level switcher circuit contains a built-in pull-down to the transistor which triggers the daisy-chained fault on the FAULT line.  We were wondering what the recommended circuit would be to interface the FAULT line to a 3.3V microcontroller (since the FAULT high voltage is well above 3.3V) given that we don't need to use the daisy-chained fault (i.e. we don't need to use FAULT as an input) and don't want to inadvertently trigger it by having a hidden pull-down in our circuit?  Thanks.
