hi I'm using pressure sensor MPX10DP its output voltage is ranging from 20mV to 50mV... for arduino i want output voltage upto 5V what should i do? is there any amplifier module available ? or i have to make it myself ? also can u plz give the specific ic number ?

The sort of thing you are looking for is called an instrumentation amplifier. You can read about them online, but with a little more information, as @ericgibbs said, people will be happy to help you with circuits.

hi Neha,
This is a 'typical' example of a simple voltage level shifting circuit

Input 20mV thru 50mV... Output 'close' to 0v thru +5Vmax.

Uses a rail to rail amplifier, with a 6Vdc supply.

If you decide to self build we can finalise the circuit to suit your components.

The opamp you show has an input offset of up to 3mV. That will not be very accurate with a 20mV input I think an instrumentation amp or at least a low offset amp is needed.

If you use a simple amplifier with a gain of 100 you will have a 2 to 5 volt output.
It's unclear to me if you want 20mv to equal 0 volts and 50 mv to equal 5 volts. Is this your intention?
