Single-Supply Circuit Collection Introduction Describing a Split-Supply Op Amp Circuit With Input Not Referenced To Ground

Problem:
What happens when a split-supply op amp circuit is provided an input that is not referenced to ground?

Solution:
When the signal source is not referenced to ground (see the figure below), the voltage difference between ground and the reference voltage shows up amplified in the output voltage. Sometimes this situation is OK, but other times the difference voltage must be stripped out of the output voltage.
