Pulse generators often need voltage comparators with accurately defined hysteresis, and such comparators need bipolar voltage references. Most voltage-reference-cell ICs are referenced to their low-side supply rail. if your circuit needs both positive and negative voltages, you could create the negative reference voltage by connecting a −1 gain inverter to the output of an IC reference cell. if your analog circuit runs from a single power supply, however, you must shift the common-mode voltage to a specific level. You can use the circuit in Figure 1 for that task. Design by Marián Štofka, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava, Slovakia
