Abstract Crossbar circuits based on two terminal (2T) memristors typically require an additional unit such as a transistor for individual node selection. A memristive device with gate‐tunable synaptic functionalities will not only integrate selection functionality at the cell level but can also lead to enriched on‐demand learning schemes. Here, three‐terminal (3T) mixed‐halide perovskite functions operating low potentials is demonstrated. The operation controlled by both drain ( V D ) and...
