Figure 1 · Self-biased inverter settling to VM — schematic (left→right) and the VI-vs-VO transfer curve, animated together
| # | 🎯 Object | 🔄 Motion (start → settled) |
|---|---|---|
| #1 | ✖ VO node (X) + red loop | moves straight down; left red leg and right red leg stretch vertically |
| #2 | ◆ Input node + wire | moves straight up to the same level |
| #3 | ◆ Output node + riser | moves straight down; the riser shrinks to a short stub at the bubble |
| #4 | 🌀 Schematic spring | ends fixed in x, so it swings from near-vertical to flat and compresses |
| #0 | 🔌 Loop switch + “=” | switch starts open and closes within the first ¼; the “=” in VI = VO appears at ¼ and stays; settling starts then |
| #5 | ◆ ✖ Points on the VI-vs-VO chart | slide along the curve and meet at VM; the spring shrinks to nothing |
| #7 | ✖ X on the VI = VO line | rides the red unity line with the readout; ends at VM |
| #10 | 📝 Gain notes | “A” inside the inverter and “slope = −A” on the VTC fade in as the switch closes and fade out once the operating point settles at VM |
| #11 | ∫ Leakage note | VO = (A/C) ∫ILeakdt appears on the VTC with the ILeak arrow and fades with it |
| #8 | 🔌 Switch reopens | after the hold the blade swings back open and the “=” disappears |
| #9 | ⬇️ ILeak at the input | a leakage arrow appears at the inverter input; with the loop open the input node droops linearly (constant current into C), VO climbs back along the VTC, and every object returns to the start frame so the cycle repeats seamlessly |
| #6 | ┄ Projections | blue and red drops follow the points and end on one line at VM; the unity-line readout lands on the same value |

Start frame is your updated drawing, redrawn as vectors with every line (schematic wires, both charts' axes, curves and projections) at the schematic's 2× width, the schematic centered with a ground connection, and the chart axes swapped (VI on y, VO on x). Schematic nodes move only vertically. Settling follows a first-order RC curve and ends exactly where the VTC crosses VO = VI. The leakage droop is a linear ramp (constant ILeak discharging the input capacitance) that ends back on the start frame.
