The easiest way to do this would be to use a comparator.



enter image description here



Picture taken from linked site



All you have to do is set your Vref level to where you want your square wave to trigger. When the sine wave crosses the Vref level, the comparator output will go high. As it approaches it again and goes below the Vref level, the comparator output goes low.



You will then get yourself a square wave.



Be aware the example shown in the graphic is of a non-inverting comparator. An inverting comparator works with the same principle, but the output is inverted

    @SunnyskyguyEE75, yes there are. Hence why my opening line was the easiest way. Not the best way. A beginner question deserves a beginners answer. Once the OP has built up knowledge and experience, then better, but more involved ways can be looked at. There is no need to try and belittle my answer by saying there are a dozen better ways just because of what I said in the comments to the question. By all means, write your own overcomplicated answer which I am sure will be useful to more experienced engineers but useless to a beginner
