This paper studies the stability problem of a class of linear switched systems with time-varying delay in the sense of Hurwitz convex combination. By designing a parameter-dependent switching law and using a new convex combination technique to deal with delay terms, a new stability criterion is established in terms of LMIs, which is dependent on the parameters of Hurwitz convex combination. The advantage of the new criterion lies in its less conservatism and simplicity. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and the less conservatism of the proposed method.
