AD5206 Digital Pots

Hi
I was wanting to try the Arduino SPI tutorial using AD5206 Digital potentiometers

I have two of the required AD5206 chips and was ready to go when I hit a snag

The chip has Vdd Vss and Gnd pins
I plan to use 5V and 0v but do I use

Vdd and Gnd
Vdd and Vss

or do I tie Gnd and Vss together and use
Vdd and Vss/Gnd

I havent come across this before so dont know the correct way

Regards
Don

According to - IC power-supply pin - Wikipedia - ==> Vdd to +5V && Vss to GND

The GND connection is analog ground, unless you have dual +/- 2.7V supplies connect the GND and Vss pins to Arduino GND, the Vdd to +5V

Thanks for all the replies
I did as you said , 5v to Vdd and 0V to Gnd and Vss

Everything is working fine now
