Yes appearently same Enteric coating is a kind of Delayed Release technology. Delayed Release basically aims to control the site of drug release. An enteric coated tablet is covered in a layer which protects it from enteric/ stomach acids so that it can pass on safely to intestine or the desired site of release.
