In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip having a lower power rail continuously extending over a plurality of gate structures. A first set of connection pins straddle a first edge of the lower power rail, and a second set of connection pins straddle a second edge of the lower power rail, which is opposite the first edge. The first set of connection pins and the second set of connection pins are electrically coupled to the lower power rail. An upper power rail is over the lower power rail and is electrically coupled to the first set of connection pins and the second set of connection pins. The first set of connection pins are arranged at a first pitch and the second set of connection pins arranged with respect to the first set of connection pins at a second pitch less than the first pitch.
