Please suggest how to make a bipolar output from the unipolar?
Impulses come from 555 circuit. I have only positive power source (12V DC).
Please simple scheme if possible

 

Can you give a plot of the required waveform with the voltage levels?

Reference your output ground to 6v and you've got yourself a bipolar output.

You can get the 6v from the 12v by putting 2 same value resistors for example 1k and 1k and tapping the point inbetween.
Then your output will be taken from the output of the 555 and the ground that you created with your 1k - 1k

Here is a scheme

 

Ok, did some experimenting

Your present stream seems to be around 50 Hz and is not a Square Wave (50% duty cycle)

A second 555 is used as a source to generate -11V. An OpAmp is used as a comparator. The input is from your original astable.

You can use a 741 opamp for this application. D1 and D2 can be 1N40xx. D3 and D4 are Zeners. For a 12 V supply, you can go upto 8.2V. You can get Bipolar with 8.7 V amplitude.

AC coupling is the simplest solution.

 

Yes, provided the digital stream is 50% duty cycle.

Any duty cycle pulse waveform will be bipolar (± around ground). The ± peak magnitudes will be equal only if the duty cycle is 50%.

Mavlik, what is your application? What does the waveform look like (voltage levels, duty cycle, frequency, etc.)?
