A configurable, low power high fan-in multiplexer (MUX) is disclosed. The MUX circuit includes multiple current control elements, which each include multiple inverters coupled to a transmission gate. Each current control element receives a data signal and a select signal that corresponds to the data signal. If a select signal exceeds a threshold value (e.g., a logical "1"), the select signal deactivates a pull-up transistor (e.g., a p-type field effect transistor), and the transmission gate enables the corresponding data signal to provide input to a logic gate (e.g., a NAND gate) coupled to the output of the MUX. If the select signal does not exceed the threshold value, the select signal activates the pull-up transistor, and the transmission gate prevents the corresponding data signal from providing input to the logic gate.
