In this paper we address the closed loop switched stabilization problem for planar bilinear systems under the assumption that the control is one dimensional and takes only the values 0 and 1. We construct a class of state-static-memoryless stabilizing feedback laws which preserve the properties of open loop switching signals. In order to prove the stability of the implemented system, we use Lyapunov techniques for differential equations with discontinuous righthand side. Finally we point out some possible extensions of our result and compare it with related results previously proven by other authors.
