Event-triggered control is an effective control strategy, capable of reducing the amount of communications and retaining a satisfactory closed-loop performance. In this paper, we aim at proposing an event-triggered sampling mechanism and studying observer-based output feedback control for switched linear neutral systems with mixed time-varying delays. Different from the conventional event-triggered control strategies, our proposed one transmits not only the state but also the switching information to the controller, which is advantageous in applications where the measured outputs and the switching information have to be transmitted over a communication network. Moreover, asynchronous switchings may be caused between the subsystems and their matched subcontrollers under the proposed sampling mechanism, which increases difficulties in analyzing stability. We develop a sufficient condition, under which the proposed control scheme guarantees globally the exponential stability of the closed-loop system meanwhile taking into account asynchronous switchings. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
