Oh, I thought it _was_ DC-coupled, a straight-froward current in, current
out gain cell.  I'd be surprised if had damn-great AC capacitors to block
DC...in fact figure 27 on the datasheet specifically shows a DC-blocking
capacitor on the input circuit of a unipolar application (they lift the
GND reference pin to half V+)

Also I found while noodling around with my filter that it will quite
happily integrate any DC offset, so I really do think it is DC-coupled.

But, if you can point me in the direction of greater knowledge I'd be
happy to change my mind!

Cheers,
Neil
