I was confused about that at first, the original poster was using external
ECL receivers for sampling, but had CMOS outputs to transmit the data to
the FPGA.

That sounds to me like a one bit quantizer, which has approximately 6dB
dynamic range (neglecting for the moment things such as non-linearity and
aliasing).  I don't see how you get any decent resolution of where the
edge transition actually occurs.
