On such port expander you might even get by without considering clock 
stretching etc.
Try to find the far most simple I2C example for your controller. Afaik all 
you need to do is to send a start condition, send the adress with R/W set to 
read and then read out the status byte - followed by a stop.

there is no other chip on the bus , just one slave port
expander................do u have a small C-code for this application

It depends.

If the bus does not have other chips which could
claim bus mastership, you can forget the states
with change of mastership and losing the arbitration.

Otherwise, you have to consider all the states.

hi,
i am working with philips microcontroller LPC935 which is to be
attached to I2C port expander.
i have to write a code for this .As my device is configured as master
receiver to read (i have to read only) the value or status of port
pins .

my question is that : Do i need to check for all 25 states of I2C bus
from status register  for my operation ?
