For those interested in how to squeeze that into a bare bones uC look at 
TI app note SLAAE16. It's under MSP430.

There is no need for DSP. Any microcontroller will do the DTMF detection 
algorithm. The lazy folks can use the traditional 8870 clones.

The one point that Steve didn't make is that virtually any current DSP 
has plenty of MIPs to perform DTMF detection. If you are using a 
programmable DSP, you would pick the DSP for other reasons, (cost, 
support, additional software requirements, power consumption, etc)

Early detection means producing a DTMF event before the length of the 
digit, and its true validity, can be tested. 10-15ms of tone seems to be 
the typical point at which these early detectors trigger. There are two 
reasons I can think of to want early detection. The first is to mute the 
channel, so the DTMF is not passed through. The second is to create 
things like RFC2833 events for VoIP.

Delayed detection is the normal form, where the true validity of the 
digit is tested before declaring it to exist. This can be expected to be 
considerably more resistant to false indications than the early form.

DTMF "chips" don't usually offer these features. DTMF software packages 
to run on general purpose DSPs increasingly do.
