A class-D amplifier for generating an output signal having PWM according to an input signal based on a DC voltage during a normal mode (NM) includes: a first integrator for generating a first integrated signal by integrating the difference of the input signal and a feedback signal during the NM; a final-stage integrator for generating a final-stage integrated signal by integrating the first integrated signal during the NM; a superposition circuit for generating a loop filter signal by buffering the final-stage integrated signal during the NM; and a modulation and driving circuit for generating the output signal by comparing the loop filter signal and a triangle wave. During a clipping mode, the first integrator enters a reset or a hold state, and the final-stage integrator enters the hold state, and the superposition circuit is configured to superimposes the final-stage integrated signal and a feedforward signal to generate the loop filter signal.
