Jun 30, 2017 at 12:11 comment added brhans "Normal" digital logic families are very tolerant with regard to input voltage levels. For example old TTLs will read anything below 0.8V as a low, and anything above 2V as a high. I doubt you'll have any trouble driving an arduino shield directly from a Z80 device.

Jun 30, 2017 at 1:53 comment added MrSharp First of all, excuse my newbness ;-) what I'm trying to do is generating PWM from a Z80 with a Z80CTC and a Z80PIO and use arduino shields with them (disregard questions about the other arduino shield pins, I'm just interested in the pwm issue). From what I understand (maybe wrongly), the arduino PWM pins output 0 or +5V. My concern is that if I generate PWM between let's say 0.20V and 3.90V, whatever connected on this pin may not work as intended, or will it?

Jun 29, 2017 at 21:43 comment added nickagian The 0.1V is normally low enough to be detected as LOW by the other side. Why need to convert it to 0V? Just a very general answer, like your general question: you can use a comparator for the 3.9V to 5V conversion.
Jun 29, 2017 at 21:42 comment added sstobbe VTC of an inverter courseware.ee.calpoly.edu/~dbraun/courses/ee307/F02/02_Shelley/… is worth understanding as the general theory applies to all logic gates. As a bonus the VTC is for a 5V gate, readoff 3.9V input as a sample.
Jun 29, 2017 at 21:38 comment added brhans How close to 0V and 5V is good enough?
Jun 29, 2017 at 21:31 comment added Transistor Not enough detail. What's the load? What's the speed? And why?
