In this paper, we study the application of switched systems stability criteria to derive delay-dependent conditions for systems affected by both a constant and a time-varying delay. The main novelty of our approach lies on the use of path-complete Lyapunov techniques along with the proposition of a new modified functional to obtain convex analysis conditions while avoiding the need of computing a dwell time for each mode in a switched system representation, as usual in the switched approach for time-delay systems. Furthermore, we leverage the developed analysis to obtain LMIs for the closedloop stabilization of systems with time-varying sensor delays by means of an observer-based compensator. A numerical example illustrates the proposed methods.
