The high end limit comes from the PIC pin leakage.  However, the value
based on that is so high that it the input may pick up noise.  The low end
limit is 0 if the pin is always an input.  If the pin must also be able to
drive to logic high level sometimes, then the limit comes from the maximum
current the PIC pin can source, and possibly the minimum logic 1 level of
the receiving device.
