In this research the output tracking problems with respect to a constant and a periodic output signal for switched Boolean networks (BNs) are studied. Based on the semi‐tensor product of matrices, an algebraic expression of switched BNs is obtained. Then, some conditions are presented to ensure output tracking issues with respect to a constant and a periodic output signal, respectively. Further, a new design of switching‐signal‐triggered pinning controllers is proposed to achieve output tracking. Finally, the discussion of an apoptosis network shows that the theoretic results are effective in designing the switching‐signal‐triggered pinning controllers to achieve output tracking.
