Abstract:
An encoder, decoder, encoding method, and decoding method enabling acquisition of high-quality decoded signal in scalable encoding of an original signal in first and second layers even if the second or upper layer section performs low bit-rate encoding. In the encoder, a spectrum residue shape codebook (305) stores candidates of spectrum residue shape vectors, a spectrum residue gain codebook (307) stores candidates of spectrum residue gains, and a spectrum residue shape vector and a spectrum residue gain are sequentially outputted from the candidates according to the instruction from a search section (306). A multiplier (308) multiplies a candidate of the spectrum residue shape vector by a candidate of the spectrum residue gain and outputs the result to a filtering section (303). The filtering section (303) performs filtering by using a pitch filter internal state set by a filter state setting section (302), a lag T outputted by a lag setting section (304), and a spectrum residue shape vector which has undergone gain adjustment.

Abstract:
The power supply unit has a sample-and-hold circuit that samples a voltage supplied from a power source to a load according to a sample timing signal and holds the voltage as an output set value for the DC/DC converter. The unit supplies a load with an output from the DC/DC converter controlled so that an output voltage of power source (22) becomes an output set value of the DC/DC converter when the voltage of power source (22) drops. Since a voltage corresponding to the voltage of the power source before the voltage drop is set to the output set value of the DC/DC converter, a stable power supply unit is obtained in which the difference is always small between the voltage of the power source in normal times and the output voltage from the DC/DC converter when the voltage of the power source temporarily fluctuates.
