In the above circuit capacitor C1 is charged to the input voltage during first half of switching cycle. In the second half of switching cycle its voltage is inverted and applied to capacitor C2 and load. The output voltage is negative of the input voltage. The Duty cycle  defined as ratio of charging time of capacitor C1 to the entire switching cycle time – is usually 50% because that generally yields the optimal charge transfer efficiency
