Yes but does it discharge to 0V or the is there a semiconductor junction 
voltage drop involved.   With an external pull-down resistor, over time the cap 
would discharge back through the series resistor and the pull down resistor.  
Now if the device is a FET with a mill-ohm ON resistance then it's not an issue 
but if it's a transistor it likely won't reach 0V.

The only way I can make the op-amp go below 0.2V is to add a negative supply to 
the op amp and bias the circuit with -0.2V so that 0% PWM brings the output to 
0V.  Just didn't want to add the minus supply but I can do that with a ICL7660. 
 Just not sure I have one in my parts bin.
