The present disclosure relates to a class-D audio amplifier. When the system is powered on, an auxiliary power amplifier and an auxiliary feedback circuit constitute an auxiliary close loop so that a control loop is established in advance. The auxiliary close loop is disconnected after various circuit modules reach their steady operation points, and the system operates at a normal state. A soft start circuit is provided for suppressing noise which occurs when the system is powered on. Thus, the class-D audio amplifier suppresses POP noise at an output terminal when the system is powered on. 1. A class-D audio amplifier , comprising:a loop filter configured to receive and filter an audio signal and provide a first audio signal;a PWM modulation circuit being electrically coupled to said loop filter, and configured to receive said first audio signal and compare said first audio signal with a triangular wave signal and provide an audio PWM signal;a power amplifier being electrically coupled to said PWM modulation circuit, and configured to receive and amplify power of said audio PWM signal and provide an output voltage;an auxiliary power amplifier configured to start to operate when said system is powered on and stops operating after said system is powered off; anda soft start circuit configured to suppress noise interference from a control loop when said system is powered on,wherein an output voltage of said power amplifier is not fed back to an input terminal of said loop filter, or said power amplifier is disabled, when said auxiliary power amplifier is active.2. The class-D audio amplifier according to claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary feedback circuit which connects said auxiliary power amplifier to or disconnects said auxiliary power amplifier from said system.3. The class-D audio amplifier according to claim 2 , wherein said auxiliary power amplifier is connected between an input terminal and an output terminal of said loop filter through said auxiliary ...
