We discuss the problem of event-triggered sliding mode control for a class of uncertain switched systems. First, through the pre-designed sliding mode surface, the corresponding sliding mode dynamics of the switched system are obtained. Second, based on the Lyapunov function technique and average dwell time strategy, the exponential stability of the correlated sliding mode dynamics is analyzed. Then, a sliding mode control law is designed by using the event-triggered mechanism, which can drive the state trajectories of the uncertain switched system to the bounded sliding mode region and maintain it there for subsequent time. Finally, a simulation example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method
