I have a dual output isolated DC-DC module that provides ±9 V.
I want to shift the reference point to get +15 V and –3 V


I’m wondering if the TL431 shunt regulator can be used to create this virtual ground node directly
Would the TL431 be able to source and sink current in that configuration, or will it only sink current?


If TL431 alone can’t do this, what’s a proper way to make a stable virtual ground between ± rails that can handle tens of milliamps?
