A receiver circuit for double data rate memory is shown, which is operative to receive an input signal. The receiver circuit has two separated input circuits and a load-stage circuit. The first input circuit and the second input circuit in the input stage handle signals of non-overlapping signal swings. The input signal is received by an enabled input circuit of the first and the second input circuits. The load-stage circuit is coupled to the enabled input circuit to form a hybrid cascode circuit of a common-source and common-gate design.
