amplifier - How to amplify a signal containing square pulses at milivolts to a couple volts


I was on it for a time. I'm planning to generate a signal containing square pulses from a smart phone's audio output. As I can get any shape of audio signal from smartphone's audio output, I want to encode digital data into audio signal with square pulses.(Surely pulses represent 1.)


I wrote an application and generated desired signal, everything is OK so far. But I measured peak value of pulses, it's approximately 20 mV. The problem is: this needs to be amplified to a couple volts such as 3 V so that digital devices can read the data properly.


One solution was using transistors, but I couldn't find any kind of transistor having such low threshold voltage.


Transformers also won't work because data is rare and very little part of the whole signal.



I couldn't come up with another solution. Please help me, what is the simplest way to get this?


EDIT: OpAmp's will help, I guess. Thank you

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
