How do you spread the quantization noise randomly with a one bit
quantizer? I'm mostly familiar with single bit quanitizers in the context
of audio range delta-sigma converters where the quantizer is in a feedback
loop to move most of the noise to a higher frequency range. That also
requires a clock much higher than the minimum nyquist requirement.
Maybe I need to see a block diagram of what is being described. Where is
the clock for the ECL flip-flop generated? I don't recall seeing a
description of what the effective sample rate will be, or the highest
clock signal accepted for analysis.

Can't really dither to >= 1lsb when lsb=msb (single bit quantizer).
