Debt is the amount borrowed from Banks

Equity is the amount contributed by Promoters

Assets are those purchased using the Debt and Equity

So, Debt to Equity ratio is ratio of the outside funds (Borrowed from Banks) and inside funds (Infused by the Promoters)

Debt to Total Assets Ratio is the ratio of the funds borrowed from outside to the total assets purchased using Debt and Equity

For exp: Total Cost of the Project is AED 1 Mn. Out of which 0.3 Mn is Contributed by Promoters and 0.7 Mn is borrowed from the Bankers. Here the Debt to Equity ratio is 30:70

Assets build /purchased with these funds will be 1 Mn. So, Debt to Total Assets Ratio is 70:100

Debt to Equity Ratio indicates the proportion of Debt (Externally Borrowed Funds) amount a company has on its sheets, to its Equity (Promotors money/ ownership) amount. This ratio provides one with an insight into the company's leveraged position.

Debt to Total Assets is a ratio that,simply put, computes the percentage of total assets that are financed by debtors/lendors.

 

The main difference, to my knowledge is that Debt to total assets clusters both tangible and intangible assets whilst the Debt to Equity ratio usually involves reducing the intangible assets from the Equity position.(In other words, involving only operational assets). This helps in getting a more insightful look into the company's leveraged position as merger activities can usually inflate the Intangible assets in terms of purchased goodwill.
