DC Characteristics

In the cyclone II handbook,page 5-4,pin pull-up resistance values will be lower if an external source drivers the pin higher than Vccio. i don't understand it . Please explain it . Thanks

The pull-up resistors are implemented by PMOS transistors, exposing a non-linear I/V characteristic.
